Stanley Street Gallery Sydney
4th April – 28th April 2018
Super positions in NZ contemporary jewellery; a handshake to the 21st Sydney Biennale.
The Man and the Mountain
this collection of small works made between 2016-2108 reflect upon jewellery as talismans and wish objects and the power protection they seem to offer when one is alone, when under threat. These rings pendants and objects, interact as a diorama ..a kind of social landscape. In my own local context, these pieces talk about the threat of isolation. Also the need for preservation and the constant grind of rural life. In relation to the title of the Sydney Biennale ‘SUPERPOSITION: Art of Equilibrium and Engagement’ these pieces draw on the larger effects of colonisation, such as the way ones sense of belonging can be diminished. Ceaseless conflict over land, and natural resource skews perspective. As industry grows on a global scale our focus turns to technological advancement. our connection with the earth and each other changes, our sense of space ever dwindling
