FINGERS RINGS




Whitireia Polytechnic
2011 Graduating Students Award Recipient
Jessica Winchcombe
'Protect'
"Jessica Winchcombe has great potential as an international maker to watch. She has an energy rarely seen and has reached a maturity in her work, which is taking her to new heights.

One of our own criteria that we attached to that of Fingers', involved an assessment of how the student had progressed from their mid-year solo show, to their graduation show at the completion of the year. Jess has done that with the most impact.

Karl Fritsch and Lisa Walker (co-judges) agreed without any doubts, saying impressively, that Jessica’s new work is completely unique, stands alone, works very well as a cohesive body of work, works well on the body and has an international quality."
Peter Deckers, Whitireia Polytechnic Jewellery Programme leader
