Order/Chaos sterling cuffs

Here are the cuffs that we designed and built for the exhibition which was just put up & out on display tonight. Got back from the "hanging" a short time ago. The work is varied, beautiful, thoughtful, politically charged and well worth the time if you are in town.

We are in such fabulous company and are truly fortunate to have been selected and to be the only jewellery artists for this show.



Order is uniformity, neatness, linear, methodical.
Chaos is variation, disarray, turmoil, frenzied.

We crafted two 6.5inch sterling silver cuff bracelets to represent our definitions of Order and Chaos.

Order shows linear thinking represented with horizontal silver lines of similar nature to each side of the word, uniformity through the letter size and shape of the word itself and it is neat and clean in finish.

Chaos is rough and colourful with the applied patina. The word itself is varied in size and shape and the turmoil and frenzied thought is shown through the scraps of silver at each side of the word.

Order/Chaos Show at CSAC

To quote Katie Fitzrandolph who always preps the press for the shows:

Perhaps the most ambitious exhibition so far at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre opens this Friday.

Approximately 25 artists have responded to the theme of Order/Chaos. Their work encompasses painting, pottery, glasswork, sculpture, photography, jewelry and installation. Their approaches are philosophical, humorous, graphic, political, whimsical, personal, reflective and experimental - not necessarily all at the same time. The scale is equally broad, from works a few inches across to six feet wide to a multi-level site-specific installation.The theme resonated with a range of established and emerging artists, and the response necessitated impaneling a jury to select works for the exhibition.

Order/Chaos is the second theme exhibition for the Charlotte Glencross Gallery at the Centre, located at 732 Charlotte Street. The exhibition will continue until the end of August, with an opening reception Friday, July 18 from 5 to 7 p.m.

We were fortunate enough to have our submission of Order & Chaos sterling cuffs chosen for the show. Will post a photo of those once the show has opened. If you are in the area, come on in for some sangria & nibbles.
