A Few Thoughts on Jewellery from the JEWELLERY NO SHIWA exhibition
Published: 05.06.2018

JEWELLERY NO SIWA (Wrinkles of Jewellery) is the title of an exhibition curated by jewellery artist Mikiko Minewaki that took place from 12 to 27 January 2018 at HOLE IN THE WALL gallery in Shibuya, Tokyo. It was a privilege to be invited to participate in this show as a writer, which allowed my short piece of writing to be showcased alongside stunning jewellery pieces by the eight artists and seven students. The following text is its English translation, with a little modification from the original version, which is now incorporated with some images of the exhibition. It is my hope that this virtual version of the show will please readers in the same way as the real one did the visitors.
