A Need, A Nuisance…

Dandelions: An Exhibition of Jewelers in the Field invites a selection of contemporary artists working in the field of jewelry and metalsmithing to respond to the ubiquitous yellow-petals and soft white-tufts of this common weed. Dandelions thrive where they can, regardless of allowances or horticultural curation. They are eradicated by pesticides, plucked by children looking to make a wish, and foraged as sources of nutrition. They are nuisances and ecological corner stones. All they know is to grow.

This exhibition - an intergenerational and intersectional dialogue rooted in the vitality of the objects we make, wear, and carry with us - is a proposal for how we cultivate the field we find ourselves in.

Featured Artists:

Melanie Bilenker, Emily Cobb, Funlola Coker, Tanya Crane, Aaron P Decker, J Diamond, David Harper Clemons, Mary Hallam Pearse & Semaj Onyx Coxring, Everett Hoffman, Lauren Kalman, matt lambert, Andy Lowrie, Sondra Sherman, Leslie Shershow, Claire Webb, Mallory Weston, and Heather White.
