Every drop counts and Squeeze the cloud

Many states of Australia are experiencing one of the driest periods since the millennium drought. Some farmers are having to buy in water, crops are being affected, and water restrictions are in place in certain areas. It may well be a portentous glimpse of what is to come as the climate changes.

These jewels are amulets and talismans, a form of jewellery designed to protect and give beneficial powers. The series Every drop counts and the work Squeeze the cloud are embedded with thoughts of quenching rain, its drop like forms, water’s ability to revive and heal, and the cool blues of rivers, lakes and streams. Squeeze the cloud is a necklace to be squeezed when needed and a gentle touch of the circular raindrop brooches and pendants of the Every drop counts series serves to attract the good fortune of a downpour. These works are for farmers, their families and all those who need soaking rain and believe small but powerful artifacts can help maintain hope in trying times.
