A solo exhibition by jeweller and public artist Melissa Cameron, presenting her take on the traditional forms of protest signage and adornment, banners and badges.
It consists of impeccably crafted large hangings alongside works of fine jewellery, made from a raft of non-traditional materials. It showcases pieces not seen outside the USA, made during the 6.5 years she spent living in Seattle, and continues with works made since her return to Perth.
