Dauvit Alexander and Norman Cherry invited 35 artists from around the world, both emerging and established, to repurpose a knife removed from the street by the police, creating thoughtful and challenging work and an exciting touring exhibition.

About the Creator
Dauvit Alexander
Birmingham, UK
Working on with found materials, the unglamorous detritus of a post-industrial country, Dauvit uses an uncompromising approach in the two main strands of his work: his jewellery is rough-hewn but uses the skills of a fine-jeweller to bring sophistication and finesse to the work; his socially-engaged practice works with marginalised people to consider how craft and activism can begin to tackle seemingly intractable issues.
