Event Katie Bourchier

Katie Bourchier

Snack pop-up

1 February 2024
5.00PM–8.00PM

Join us in the Gallery Shop for the launch of Katie Bourchier‘s new collection. Bourchier approaches jewellery with playful irreverence. Made using ancient lost-wax casting, her works both follows and exceed traditional silversmithing rules. She views her process as ritualistic. Through her signature inverted-face iconography—a nod to portraiture, cameos, puppetry, and ancient protection symbols—she invites wearers to develop their own personal meanings. Enjoy a complimentary drink; shop the exclusive range of new rings, necklaces, and small objects; and meet their maker!

  • Partner:

    Snack is a pop-up concept store within the Gallery Shop platforming functional, affordable artisanal products. Purchase exciting new products and meet their makers.

Guest Info
  • Katie Bourchier is a jeweller and small-objects artist, living in Meanjin/Brisbane. She studied Jewellery at Queensland College of Art. Taking an interest in mythology and ancient history, her signature designs are narratives on the beautiful absurdity of our natural and cosmic worlds.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
