Exposition

Like A Rolling Stone (2022)

Stephen Edward Bottomley

About this exposition

Like a Rolling Stone was an international workshop and exhibition exploring the themes of relocation, transplantation, camouflage, identity and materiality through mixed media art jewellery. Geology and geophysics were examined as an analogy for the theme of population displacement. In 2016 the Italian Cultural Institute (ICI) approached the department of Jewellery and Silversmithing, Edinburgh College of Art /The University of Edinburgh with a view to organising a series of events focusing on and celebrating gemmology and contemporary jewellery. Stephen Bottomley + Susan Cross invited three Italian Jewellery artists: Maria Rosa Franzin, Gigi Mariani and Gabi Viet alongside seven UK based artists, Jessamy Kelly, Rhona McCallum, Jo Pudelko, Jessica Turrell and Cristina Zani, to undertake field work in North Berwick, an area frequently visited by the Geologist James Hutton, as a backdrop to the political themes surrounding population displacement. Over the year following the Edinburgh workshop the project was developed in the artists home countries and exhibited in Munich and Edinburgh over 2018 with support from the School of Jewellery, Birmingham City University. The exhibition is intended to tour later in 2021.
