Intro
Freeman is the most prominent of a number of self taught jewellers who revolutionised contemporary jewellery in Aotearoa in the 1980s. What makes Freeman special is his continued questioning of cultural identity... 'Given : jewellery by Warwick Freeman' is ultimately shaped by the inevitable cross-cultural interaction of a settler society like Aotearoa.
 
Freeman’s work is placed in historic, social, and political contexts. A kind of ethical account of how best to deal with cultural heritage. Thought-provoking in an age when all sources appear to be freely useable.
