“After examining Neumann’s jewellery, I see echoes of it everywhere beyond the gallery walls: in window-frames, gridded street maps, right-angled concrete pavers. In turn, when I run my fingers over the grout between two minature bricks, or thumb a fused-silver pendeant, Im touching a specific idea of a specific city. Poignantly, I touch with the awareness that, someday, I could slip one of those echoes of Canberra into my jewellery box, and carry it with me to parts unknown.”
