The tenmoregirls collective are back again in 2011 with another electrifying exhibition of contemporary jewellery and objects.
For three weeks in October this year, Salerno Gallery will light up with colour. 10 girls. 10 colours. is a vibrant exploration of the subjective implications of ten randomly assigned colours. This talented group of ten emerging female artists will again push conceptual boundaries, stretch definitions and excite audiences by navigate themes, from sensory perception and memory to cultural contexts and history. The resulting work will be thoughtful, vivid and provocative. All of the work will be available for purchase.

The tenmoregirls collective for 2011 is :
A Mi Kim, Andrea Iglesias, Bernadette Trainor, Carol Faulkner, Danielle Butters, Jo Piper, Majella Beck, Nikki Majajas, Radka Passianova, Tenille Evans.

Since 2008, tenmoregirls have been coming together annually to orchestrate concept-based exhibitions of modern wearables that inspire Sydney art and design communities and thrill the public. The collective consists of ten female designers and makers who met while studying at the Design Centre Enmore and who are committed to exhibiting every year to promote and nurture the medium in their local community and beyond.
Characterised by unusual applications of materials, the challenge of traditional jewellery forms and high quality technical experimentation, tenmoregirls shows have a reputation for exemplifying the high standard of emerging contemporary jewellery in Sydney. This latest project, 10 girls.10 colours. will be their most successful show yet.
