Intro
Helen Dilkes and Rachael Colley… two, a pair, a duo–art jewellers on opposite sides of the planet (Australia, England), come together in Di-alogue…, juxtaposing and mirroring works, exploring how technologies shape thinking/making in their art jewellery.

The works themselves are in dialogue for the duration of the exhibition with Radiant Pavilion, Melbourne Contemporary Jewellery and Object Biennial. Through their collaboration, Helen and Rachael also met online and recorded their dialogue. Selected parts from these discussions around their art jewellery practices reflect on how they intersect and correlate. Their work has developed over these months of conversation, and here they map threads that elliptically orbit between them, across the planet.
