Radiant Pavilion
When thinking about Queensland, visions of the sunshine state are often of warm weather, beaches and blue skies. Queensland is much, much more. It is a place of contrasts and extremes, and a state of mind. Queensland is its history, its people, flora and fauna and its’ landscape. Identifying with Queensland has been captured by a mood, a character, or an atmosphere unique to this state.

JMGQ has drawn out themes and connections between the artworks to begin a discussion about what is it to design and make in Queensland, within the broader framework of Australia. The State of Shine examines our connection to place through thinking and making, within the sphere of contemporary jewellery and small objects.
