Over the last couple of months I've been very busy completing my jewellery work for my Bachelor of Fine Art Degree, Major: Jewellery and Small Objects.
Im very happy with the work I've produced this semester and I am excited to have finished my degree!
Tomorrow night (Wednesday 23 November) is the Graduate Exhibition 'To that Which is' at the Queensland College of Art, South Bank. The opening starts at 6pm and the show runs till Saturday. So if you can, you should check out the amazing work the Graduates of 2011 have produced. (Painting, Print, Sculpture and Jewellery and Small Objects)!
Below I have attached my artist statement for the work I've created this year and the photos of my work!
Enjoy!

Artist Statement
My jewellery explores history, art
and culture with a particular focus on
European and English history. While interested in reading and
learning about these historical times I became intrigued with the elaborate
nature of the dress, costumes and jewellery of the period. In ancient times these items depicted a
persons social status. By making
jewellery, inspired by pieces from these periods, I’ve attempted to create
modern designs to relate to this.
My work is inspired by the art,
jewellery and fashion of historical periods, such as Medieval Times, the
Tudors, the Elizabethan, and Victorian eras.
