People Holes (it's not as rude as it sounds)

The holes in the bitumen in the New York city streets would take you down into the depths of the city's underground labyrinth of tunnels, sewers and pipes. The covers of these peopleholes are stunning forms in and of themselves. They vary from cover to cover and reflect the forge that created them and, more commonly now, the utility service they access. Here is my interpretation: from cast iron for the street to handcrafted silver on the body. #NewYorkCity #inspiration #cont

Group Exhibition 'Island Welcome' at Craft, Melbourne

I was invited to participate in the group exhibition Island Welcome curated by Belinda Newick at Craft in Watson Place in Melbourne, which opened 7 June 2018. The exhibition explored contemporary jewellery as a gesture of greeting. Inspired by the welcome garland found in many traditional island cultures, the artists each made a neckpiece interpreting the theme of ‘welcome' in response to current Australian immigration and refugee policy. The exhibition builds on the first it

A FINE POSSESSION

I visited The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney over the weekend to see A Fine Possession – Jewellery & Identity; it was a spectacular and dramatic exhibition of jewellery from antiquity to present contemporary collections. It was thrilling to see a piece of mine placed amongst many contemporaries I admire, and it was equally profound to see it within a lineage of jewellery from a range of makers, cultures, and periods in time. Being a craftsperson in a contemporary art context can
