Remade-Reloved, curated by Bridget Kennedy, presents work by contemporary makers exploring the principles of the circular economy through the lens of jewellery and small object practice.

Jewellery artists, from emerging makers to well-established , receive a bag of broken or unwanted costume jewellery generously donated by the community.

The premise is simple, but provides a creative challenge: to take these overlooked, mass-produced adornments and transform them into new contemporary work that provokes the consideration of material value. Using costume jewellery invites makers to experiment and adapt their usual techniques. Through smashing, melting, reconfiguring, layering, deconstructing, and reconstructing, they push the material and themselves into unfamiliar territory.

Remade-Reloved is an experiment in recontextualising the everyday. Everyone is invited to consider how waste can be a resource for creative practice and shift our relationship to consumption and value. This is adornment with a conscience and a reminder that transformation often begins with what we already have.
