Join us for a panel discussion with jeweller Octavia Cook and some of the makers behind the jewellery display systems commissioned for Cook &amp; Company, a new exhibition opening 6pm, Friday 17 March. Cook &amp; Company draws on the nature of jewellery as both a distinctly public and private art form. The largest survey of work by leading Aotearoa jeweller Octavia Cook, this exhibition expands on her-long-held interest in the private life of jewellery – how it is worn, housed and collected by its users.For Cook &amp; Company, the artist is joined by six practitioners spanning craft, design and architecture, each commissioned by the artist to design a one-of-a-kind storage system for jewellery. They are: <ul><li>Gerard Dombroski</li><li>Turumeke Harrington</li><li>Steven Junil Park</li><li>Nicholas Stevens &amp; Deborah Smith</li><li>Isobel Thom</li><li>Anna Wallis</li></ul>This panel discussion will take place on the first day of Cook &amp; Company.
