we make sacrifices here
Oct 19 - Dec 10, leanings
Handshake 4, Pah Homestead, Auckland
This work is part confession part celebration of my rural experience as a maker.
Being a part of the handshake project given me the chance to really look hard at my practice and figure out where things fit. using materials gathered from my local environment and using a provincial vernacular “we make sacrifices here” talks about toil, isolation and making do.The development of this work has been cathartic and signifies for me a personal transition into a new contemporary jewellery landscape.
This work is part confession part celebration of my experience as a maker living in a rural environmentand speaks about toil, isolation and making do
