Matters of Time: Contemporary Metal Practices

Ipswich Art Gallery

Matters of Time draws upon traditional smithing techniques and contemporary metalworking approaches to trace the transformation of materials. Works are shaped by the rhythms of studio processes, demonstrating how the act of making can embody time, labour, and lived experiences. Through techniques such as hammer-forming, welding, forging, engraving, hand-piercing, and electroplating, along with the phenomena of patination and erosion, the exhibition reimagines how this enduring material can register the markings of time. Matters of Time also addresses broader issues related to industrialisation, sustainability, and the preservation of material knowledge and artisanal skills. By rethinking our relationship to materials and the built environment, the exhibiting practitioners provide timely perspectives on the use of metal in adornment and industry, its role in extractive economies, and its potential for reuse and reimagining. Curated by Catherine Woolley, Matters of Time showcases the breadth of contemporary metalwork across sculpture, furniture, drawing, jewellery, and installation.
