Bi-Cultural Floras | 2017

Bi-Cultural Brooches
Series of 9 Brooches
Fine Silver, Sterling Silver and Stainless Steel

Finalist 2018 National Contemporary Jewellery Award
Griffith Regional Art Gallery
11 August - 23 September 2018

In this collection of 9 brooches, the composition of a design process layered with contextual symbolism from past and present, materiality and methods takes on traditional Eastern motif superimposed with modern western concepts to create a language informed by hybridity. The results of each shape echo the diaspora conditions of change and place.
