Current Obsession curated a virtual exhibition for 92nd Street Y to showcase the works of the eight talented jewelry makers that are part of the Gem Z Talent Accelerator Program. Being one of the talents myself, I was invited to write the curatorial text and the texts describing each individual project. With a pinch of fiction and a sense for the interconnectedness of the diverse practices, I tried to place emphasis on the narrative qualities behind the epic works of each individual Gem Z.
