Gradex. Stellenbosch Visual Arts Department Degree Show 2023

Artist list

Lindie Crous, Chelsea Gevers, Carla Krieg, Amy Noyce, Eloise Retief, Anya Robinson, Ruby von Wiese

Gradex displays works that address a wide variety of subject matter throughout the three different disciplines that can be studied in the Visual Arts Department of Stellenbosch University.

The jewellery course in particular focuses on educating jewellery design as a critical discipline that allows students to reflect on their surroundings and translate their ideas into three dimensional wearable artworks that communicate and stimulate thought. We believe that jewellery design can function as a multi-faceted design tool to push boundaries and communicate messages of identity, place, social standing, cultural practices, and political viewpoints.  The Gradex showcase is an illustration of such a design philosophy and can be seen in the graduate work of the class of 2023.
