Research Background: This series of works was commissioned by Museum of Brisbane to be featured in the Brisbane Art and Design 2019. BAD at MoB 'celebrated the junctures between art, design and technology'. The commission recognised the creative significance and cultural relevance to Brisbane of Shaw’s research. The MoB BAD curatorial team identified Shaw as a leading practitioner to create new works to contribute to the creative narrative of Brisbane. The works continue Shaw's conscious investigations into the significance of jewellery and objects as sociological and cultural markers. Research Contribution: Shaw created a body of work that contribute to contemporary research interests and analysis of the urban mining and materials sourcing within the field of contemporary jewellery. The series of works each started with a found 'useless' object. These are things that once were useful, once had a purpose but have lost their value and use through breakage or damage. Most were found while walking or digging a garden. Each of the found 'useless' objects is a material trace of the people who once used and presumably valued it. Shaw has reconsidered and constructed a new purpose for each item in a way that both highlights them and saves them from obliteration. These works interrogate what we value. Research Significance: The commission of this series by the Museum of Brisbane to feature in BAD 2019 was recognition of the role that Shaw plays within the Brisbane Art scene. The pieces were exhibited in a large vitrine in the Museum install that featured works commissioned from other leading Brisbane Creatives. Shaw was the only jeweller/metalsmith featured in this significant Museum exhibition. BAD at MoB was the feature exhibition of the BAD 2019 festival. As a result the exhibition had impressively high visitation.
