CONTEMPORARY NEW ZEALAND JEWELLERY

Jessica Winchcombe

"Jessica Winchcombe is a contemporary jeweller who enjoys pushing boundaries. Jessica's concept explores exciting new materials for a fresh visual impact. In this body of work, Winchcombe has been researching a range of ideas surrounding armour and protection mechanisms. "Practical defence elements and their social implications intrigue me, from a beetles defence mechanism or a costume we can hide behind, to leather battle armour".

The precious elements in Jessica's work are semi-hidden in order to provide a context by which the outer protective forms can be glorified. The true narrative of this work is focussing on the protector rather than the protected."
