One of New Zealand’s most interesting jewellers, Sarah Read has created a performance practice which explores the value of labour. In this project, she is stringing the polystyrene beads from a bean bag into an epic necklace form.

As automation removes our dependence on human labour, might we see its re-emergence in artistic forms like this?
