Cercare/Trovare is an exhibition presenting the physical and theoretical findings associated with Bobby Corica’s 2022 Research Fellowship supported by the Italian/Australian foundation and the International Specialised Skills Institute (ISS Institute). The exhibition explores new materials within his contemporary jewellery practice, including glass (lampworking) and leather. Bobby learnt to work with these new materials directly from artisan makers in Italy, who are internationally renowned for their mastery and skill and their sustainability practices. Cercare/Trovare forms part of the launch of Conscious Craft – a Craft Victoria initiative showcasing innovative creations by makers and designers who are actively considering sustainability and ethics in their production methods and use of materials.

Participants

Bobby Corica

Bobby Corica is a self-taught jeweller and artist based in Melbourne (Naarm/Birrarung-ga). He has been practicing since 2019, crafting intuitive, finely-wrought jewellery by hand in his Brunswick East studio. His experimental designs explore the intersection of traditional silversmithing techniques with abstracted contemporary forms, pushing the limits of his materials to explore ideas of sustainability and inheritance. His work has been exhibited in NGV International, Melbourne Design Week, Craft Victoria, and JamFactory among others.
