The collaboration between Hinton the architect and Tilden the jeweller addresses scale. Both collaborators considered the macro scale of buildings and the micro scale of brooches, blurring the lines between architecture and jewellery using digital representation, 3D printing, waterjet cutting and hand making to realise shared ideas in a suite of drawings and brooches originally exhibited as part of Glass X Design, Canberra Glassworks, 2014.
