Lynn Kelly
'Central'
In 2012 Lynn was awarded a Wild Creations residency, a collaboration between the Department of Conservation and Creative New Zealand, to spend six weeks in Bannockburn Central Otago.
This offered her the opportunity to spend time investigating this area, and she was inspired by the rich diversity of wildlife and landscape which has provided innumerable long-lasting reference points and stimuli for her continued work.
She has now produced new work which celebrates this environment and acknowledges the 150th anniversary of the discovery of gold in Central Otago and the impact it had on the region.

Matthew McIntyre-Wilson
'Nga Mahanga - The Twins'
"My practice of weaving in copper and silver originated from an interest in the form and pattern of raranga whakairo.
Combined with my formal training as a jeweller, my work continually evolves primarily incorporating these two art forms.
This current collection of work features pairs of objects - some exhibiting only subtle shifts from their counterparts.
With this new work I wanted to make two pieces at the same time, using the same material, scale and form, but creating each piece with their own subtle differences via the use of pattern. "
Matthew McIntyre-Wilson, May 2012
Rachel Bell
'Post'
"In 2011 I completed a Masters of Design. This current body of work is a continuing exploration of the palette and repertoire of materials developed during that period of study.
In 'Post' I am utilising materials that I associate with my rural background (including rabbit, knitting needles, linen, gorse and willow), considering notions of home and place while investigating further the combination of natural and traditionally precious materials in a jewellery format."
Rachel Bell 2012
Pauline Bern
'Colonial Goose'
"I want the works to elicit curiosity, intrigue, surprise, humour and perhaps nostalgia. I am not attempting to emulate botanical forms, rather to appropriate the extraordinary, unexpected, and often un-noticed details in nature, into a contemporary jewellery context.
"
Pauline Bern
