CONTEMPORARY NEW ZEALAND JEWELLERYGillian DeeryNew Brooches From 2010 | |
 Granulated silver brooch $600  Granulated silver brooch $400 Gillian received a Bachelor of Design in 2008 and was the 2009 Fingers Unitec Graduate Award winner. Her work has been accepted for the 2010 Talente Exhibition in Munich, she was the Regal Awards winner at the 2010 NZ Jewellery Show, and is currently studying within the Masters of Design course at Unitec.Gillian Deery's making practice has a current focus of exploring fabrication techniques of thin sterling silver sheet. The thin material is chosen as it allows for fast working methods and is an ideal medium to capture and archive the action of the making process. It can be cut with scissors, bent, hammered, pressed, scratched, melted and transformed from a flat surface to a three dimensional form with relative ease and all marks of making are embedded in the surface. Choosing not to use solder, Gillian seeks alternative methods to join components together. These practical solutions include folding, crimping, threading, fusing and granulation, which lend a decorative as well as practical aspect to the finished object.Please check for availability, all prices subject to change |
