Inconspicuous Interference

Join us in the gallery from 5-8pm on Friday, June 26 for the opening reception for Inconspicuous Interference!

When so much of our material environment is made in far-distant factories, intended
to be quickly discarded, craft acts as an inflection point and interrupts this mindless
cycle of consumption. Through the thoughtful making, repair, and use of objects, we
are presented with an opportunity to re-shape the world we live in, both in the broader
communities and economies to which we contribute and in the microcosm of our own
daily lives. Hand-crafted objects that are carried on the body hold the potential to serve
as both personal talismans and tools for social and political change. In Inconspicuous
Interference, the Baltimore Jewelry Center presents small artworks that investigate the
role of objects carried on the body as instruments for resistance, protest, and change.

Participating artists include: Adam Atkinson, Elisa DeLorme, Shaunia Grant,
Oi Ying Valerie Ho, Hyue Huang, Allison Jefferies, Maria Konschake, Callisa Lawn, Rikke
Lunnemann, Meredith Moore, Bridget Parlato, Mary Raivel, Jess Tolbert, and Carrie Yodanis.
