THEME
The word “inspiration” comes from the Latin inspirare, meaning “to breath upon” and is considered that creative spark beyond our complete control. This year’s Refined VII exhibition seeks works from the metalworking and jewelry field that embody these phenomena through the handmade object. What inspires your work? How does the finished product manifest that inspiration and pass it along to the viewer? We welcome a broad interpretation of the theme and look forward to showcasing inspired works from around the globe.
