Rendering is the process of becoming or representing something, an idea, a meaning, a moment, a place. In some instances, to render may involve the process of formulating, adding colour, shading and texturing to create an image. In others, it may be shaping and moving material into new dimensions and forms.
This exhibition explores how ideation informs the various states of jewellery and object transformation. Rendering here connects a group of emerging artists through their approach to illustrate their own unique perspectives, they exhibit examples of conceptual ideation, material experimentation and final object resolution.
The works presented draw on a selection of creative outcomes over the past year from the students of Gold & Silversmithing courses in the School of Art at RMIT University.
