    Curated by Anita Hirschhorn and presented in collaboration with Alta Forma, Naarm/Melbourne. 

    State of Flux explores the compelling dialogue between enamelling and glaze - two techniques that, when applied to different materials, share a process of transformation through heat. This project features contemporary jewellery, ceramics and objects presented across two sites: Alta Forma and Funaki.

    Enamelling on metal and glazing on clay both involve the fusion of glass to a surface, resulting in tactile finishes that highlight individual technique and the unpredictability of the kiln. State of Flux celebrates this shared language of surface and fire and offers a fresh perspective on age-old methods, re-imagined by contemporary makers.
