This exhibition features a series of brooches that draw on the modern day survivalist movement and Ron Edwards’ popular book series from the 1970s and 80s from which the exhibition takes its name. Jeweller Rebecca Ward imagines a situation where the maker has nothing but sticks from the forest, a recycled length of fencing wire and some basic tools to make wearables in her basic hut amongst the forests of Maleny. The works playfully map the effects of living in isolation, the internal journey and the madness and resourcefulness of the bush dweller.
