An exhibition that explores the tactile experience of jewelry. Adam Gopnik writes “Touch is the unsung sense - the one that we depend on most and talk about the least... the work of the world is done by handling it. We live by feel.” Jewelry is an intimate and sensual art form, providing a tactile experience for both the wearer and the observer. It’s an excellent medium for exploring the unsung sense of touch.

Jill Baker-Gower, Amanda Bergman, Isabelle Busnel, Sébastien Carré, Emily Culver, Mary Fissell, Brie Flora, Motoko Furuhashi, Missy Graff Ballone, Yong Joo Kim, Michelle Kraemer, Michal Lando, Thomas Lauria, Helmi Lindblom, Jeffrey Lloyd Dever, Nathalie Maiello, Fern Robinson, Jolynn Santiago, Hallie Scheufler, Rose Schlemmer, Jina Seo, Carina Shoshtary, Tyler Stoll, Aric Verrastro, Meg Wachs, Mallory WestonWhile most visual art can only be enjoyed through sight, jewelry not only invites but encourages touch. As makers create work, they engage with their sense of touch, making decisions about materiality, structure, and form that will later engage the observer’s sense of touch, communicating a host of sensations and feelings. A dialogue between the maker and the observer is thus built on the social language of touch.
