Don’t Ignore the Periphery
At its heart, Don’t Ignore the Periphery embraces the edges—both physical and metaphorical. The artists explore artmaking as a transformative act, a daily meditative practice through monotypes, large-scale digital prints, contemporary jewellery and sculptural objects. They reframe the outer boundaries not as distractions but as essential elements to be woven back into the creative journey.
This unique collaboration features the works of multidisciplinary artist Brad Coleman and artist jeweller Amanda Alderson, who together invite audiences to consider the creative process as a reflective and transformative act. Coleman’s curated selection of monotypes and large-scale digital prints, drawn from his ambitious 1,200 monotype prints project, are juxtaposed with Alderson’s intricate contemporary jewellery and sculptural objects.
