“Practitioners”

I added new objects to my installation of jewellery and objects in the recent group exhibition “Practitioners” at the Fluid gallery in Queenstown New Zealand. I wanted to remind the viewer that the jewellery was for the body by placing it on leather pillows or the silver tray that could easily be in many homes. In contrast, I wanted to highlight the process of the maker’s hand by using gold metallic leather to catch the eye and provide a link to the smaller black silver folded pieces that seemed almost to disappear in that big room. The plinths were made by the lovely Tim Miller and image by Paul Green. The exhibition opening was a great evening and it was fun to see so many locals support the arts.
