Uncommon Beauty – Objects of Curiosity and Wonder is a mixed exhibition which includes artists working in metal, ceramics, glass, textiles, natural materials, paper, print, bone and beeswax. The exhibition is a treasure trove of exquisite works which play with the idea of natural history artifacts, wunderkammer collections, the macro and micro. A collection of beautifully made objects, intriguing textures, materials and unusual forms; blurring lines between the real and the imagined; inviting the viewer to look closely, to question. Artists were selected for their ability to create an intriguing narrative in their use of materials and form. How they transcend the making of realistic, representational work and instead create their own form of magical realism.Goldsmiths' Fair26.09.23 - 08.10.23Kate is delighted to have been selected to exhibit again at the prestigious Goldsmiths' Fair, set in the opulence of Goldsmiths' Hall London.
