A handshake is a sign of peace, in the offering of open hands you are showing that you bear no ill will. A give and take, there is no winner in a handshake. Instead, it is a mutual ritual, an exchange of power and expression of trust and respect.
HANDSHAKE is a mentoring and exhibition project with a continuing progressive programme that over the years has benefited a great number of NZ emerging jewellery artists.
