Artist Statement
Re-use and re-making have become part of my core practise as an artist. One of the things I enjoy about this project is the opportunity to play with new materials as a starting point. Sometimes I have an idea of what I’d like to make, and sometimes this doesn’t work out as the material doesn’t act in an expected way. Repetition is often utilised in my work, sorting and ordering brings calmness and time to think. It can also connect and bring together disparate objects. I’m not drawn to glitzy jewellery and originally wanted to totally cover these little rhinestones with enamel or electroplated copper but the materials didn’t want this, so this is where we land…with the process informing the outcome, a play on preciousness. I’m happy with this.
Diamonds? Diamonds (Gold), 2025, brooch/wall work, repurposed rhinestones, diamonds, 14ct gold, epoxy, paint, stainless steel
(Wall mount – repurposed costume jewellery, felt)
