Access
Accessible bathroom, Assistance animals welcome, Seating available, Wheelchair accessibleRoseanne Bartley: ALPHA BETA is an exhibition of contemporary jewellery exploring the concept communication through wearable typography. Roseanne’s recent work approaches the alphabet as a tactile system: testing the anatomy of typeface design in response to the embodied conditions of ornamentation. This exhibition further extends this typographic-based enquiry across the jewellery vernacular, including alphabetic necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings that create opportunities for interaction between glyphic characters and the wearer’s body.
