Created specially for New York City Jewelry Week, we’ve taken inspiration from the rich tradition of still life painting to create individual compositions highlighting key pieces from six modern makers who use ethically sourced materials.

Created by Local Heroes in partnership with the Incorporation of Goldsmiths, the exhibition has been conceived and styled by Stacey Hunter using a selection of plaster and gypsum objects by Chalk Plaster and photographed by Gabriela Silveira. It features contemporary work by: Soizig Carey, Michelle Currie, Ruth Leslie, Alison Macleod, Silvia Weidenbach and Heather Woof.

Still Lifes offers audiences in New York – and internationally – a glimpse of what’s new and fresh about contemporary jewellery from Scotland.
