En tant que créateurs d’objets qui seront manipulés et portés par d’autres, comment négocions-nous l’expérience publique et privée de notre travail. Quelle importance accordons-nous à la tactilité, à la sensualité de nos pièces, et à la transformation de celle ou celui qui les porte? Quel impact auront ces préoccupations sur notre univers créatif?

Traffic on the Bridge : The private and public life of Jewellery.

As creators of objects that will be handled and worn by others, how do we negotiate the experience of the private and public life of our work ? How important is tactility, sensuality and transformation of the wearer in the premiss of our thinking and what changes in our world as a result of these preoccupations ?

Timothy Information Limited proposera une série de projets de design et fabrication simples qui explorent le sens du sens du bijou. Qu’est-ce que quoi veut dire? Est-ce que quelque chose peut ne vouloir rien dire? Et à quoi ça rime, d’ailleurs, pour nous? Tu comprends ce que je veux dire?

Do you know what I mean?

Timothy Information Limited will be leading a series of design and basic making projects that explore the meaning of meaning in jewellery. What means what ? Can something mean nothing ? Can this benefit us as makers ? Do you know what I mean ?

Timothy Information Limited (UK)   Drawing influence from Punk, Dada, Situationism, the Goons and the dilapidated man made environments of his past, Timothy Information Limited constructs badges and machines that often promote a physical interaction between the viewer and the work. Under the initial seemingly nonsensical and abstract veneers lurks a subtle commentary, observation and storytelling with political sensibilities. Timothy Information Limited works predominantly in base metals, wood, acrylic and questionable humour.
