UNDONE.
RESEARCH AND EXHIBITION
2024
​
The beauty in unravelling emerges as a powerful force in 'Undone.'.

​

Undone. echoes the marked impact of our vulnerability and, in balance, our strength. Ultimately, the collection acknowledges that life and beauty can be found each day, rediscovered by pausing, observing, reflecting, and acting, reminding us that we can reconnect with our humanity through small, yet meaningful interventions.

TRANSCEND
RESEARCH AND EXHIBITION
2021
​
New work contextualised by the recent social, political and environmental global events.

​

With the 2020 bushfires and pandemic, as well as global social and political unrest in mind, this collection of new work will respond to current events by bringing beauty, compassionate reflection and the handmade firmly into focus. Questions will be asked including what's important to hold on to? What comforts us most when times are challenging? How can art and art jewellery help facilitate societal, cultural and personal recovery?

KEEPSAKE
BUNDOORA HOMESTEAD, MELBOURNE
2017
​
In a unique combination of painting and jewellery practices, 'Keepsake' featured intimate oil paintings on copper by Kirrily Hammond and contemporary jewellery
and photography by Sim Luttin.

​

Keepsake was an exhibition of work by Kirrily Hammond and Sim Luttin that documented moments in time—traces captured between night and day, work and home, travelling from one place to another. As a quiet repose from our hectic lives, this exhibition explored the personal, quiet moments found in urban environments.

IT'S ALWAYS DARKEST JUST BEFORE DAWN
GRAY STREET WORKSHOP, ADELAIDE
RADIANT PAVILION, MELBOURNE
2015

This exhibition was the result of a yearlong time-based digital & art jewellery project created from 2014 to 2015 that was represented in two solo shows in Australia in 2015. 

The project and solo exhibition was a contemporary multi-disciplinary enquiry that explored the significance of handmade objects at a time when people were engrossed in digital culture and mass-produced products.
THESE MOMENTS EXISTED
GRUNWALD GALLERY, BLOOMINGTON
2013
​

The exhibition was a photography and contemporary jewellery installation created from 2012 to 2013, exploring everyday moments with an air of ambivalence and melancholy.

 

Many people in the developed world live in an image-saturated, social media-addicted society. Sim is interested in exploring her personal experience of this. These Moments Existed was an attempt to cut through the saturation and find meaning in every day, reflecting the here and now.

HORSES FOR COURSES
J STUDIOS, MELBOURNE
2011

Horses For Courses was an installation of miniature horse and jockey rings portraying the finish of the 2010 Melbourne Cup.

Horses For Courses was a celebration of sorts. Hand-crafted like the cup itself, this collection paid homage, not to the race's winner or the sport itself but instead reflected on the traditions of craft and the small things created to mark celebratory moments in life.
THE TEMPORARY NATURE OF THINGS
SOFA GALLERY, BLOOMINGTON
2008
​
The transcendence presented by the miniature is special, a transcendence that erases the productive possibilities of understanding through time. Its locus is thereby the nostalgic. - Susan Stewart

​

The exhibition considered notions of beauty, nostalgia, impermanence, and passing time. Motivated by the deterioration of memory and how this is represented nostalgically through miniature objects.
