Some become strangers is the first collection of jewellery by artist Meredith Turnbull to be exhibited at Pieces of Eight Gallery. Turnbull’s artistic practice is multifaceted, involving jewellery, objects, photography, video and installation. She is largely inspired by abstraction, in particular “dystopic visions and psychological landscapes” explored in science fiction, literature and pop culture. There is a high level of conceptual consideration in Turnbull’s work that simultaneously intrigues and eludes. Here, these ideas come to life in her jewellery and objects that are geometric and “architectonic” in shape and form. A range of necklaces, brooches and small objects will be exhibited in the Pieces of Eight Gallery window, visible 24 hours daily. Meredith Turnbull is a Melbourne based visual artist, jeweller, writer and curator. She completed a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Art History, Latrobe University, 2000, followed by a Bachelor of Fine Art (Gold and Silversmithing), RMIT University, 2005. Turnbull edited the online magazine ACCAMag, 2004-2005 and was Project Manager/Assistant to the Artistic Director at ACCA from 2003-2005. Turnbull is currently a member of the Next Wave Festival’s
Curatorial Advisory Committee and Gallery Manager/Curator of the VCA
Margaret Lawrence Gallery. She is newly represented by Pieces
of Eight and this is her first exhibition with the
gallery. |
