Jin-Ah Jo - a cross cultural survey of Australia and Korea through language, form and metal
This collaboration is a cross cultural project between Jin-Ah Jo and Alison Reid.
Jin-Ah Jo, a contemporary silversmith and jeweller, explores her cultural heritage through the languages of Korea and English, as well as the visual language of form and design.
Jo presents a new collection of contemporary jewellery exploring difference through form, materials, colour and shape, highlighting displacement, deconstruction, similarities and connections.
