Touchy/Feely is an exhibition that explores the tactile experience of jewelry. Adam Gopnik writes “Touch is the unsung sense–the one that we depend on most and talk about the least…the work of the world is done by handling it.
For this year’s community challenge, the BJC invited artists to create jewelry or personal objects that evoke a sense of place. How artists chose to interpret place may be political and speak of a sense of identity and nationality, may be personal and resonate with a sense of home, or may be associated with memory and imagination.
