Accessorise

Courthouse Gallery
Accessorise is an opportunity for creative play. Walking the line between rigorous studio practice and notions of commercial ‘success’, the artists dabble in creative baubles, wearable art, and sculptural works to enhance our bodies, lives, and spaces.
Following the threads of creative experimentation, Accessorise delivers an eclectic array of work challenging our understanding of art making, art collecting and the fluidity of studio practice.
