Matter / Maker / Mind
September – November 2026
Bunjil Place Foyer
Matter / Maker / Mind explores how jewellery is created through a process of collecting and working with different materials, ideas, memories and inspirations. The artwork shows how these elements come together, change and develop over time as part of the creative process.
The exhibition reflects the way jewellers think and create through making. It highlights the ongoing relationship between materials, intuition, experience and memory. Rather than following a set plan, jewellery-making is presented as a journey of discovery, where the maker and the materials continually influence and shape one another.

Dr Emma Luke
Melbourne-based designer and academic, Dr Emma Luke, whose practice moves between digital media, projection, jewellery and computational design. Merging digital alchemy, atmospheric light and emotional resonance, her work unfolds through ethereal lightscapes, fragmented imagery and impossible worlds. Exploring the shifting relationships between materiality, technology, memory and embodied experience, these worlds move between the physical and immaterial, the ancient and speculative, the familiar and otherworldly.
