Jiggle Wiggle Wobble Bounce at Inform Contemporary Jewellery, Christchurch

 
 
 
 

8th September - 3rd October 2009
Inform Contemporary Jewellery, Christchurch http://www.informjewellery.co.nz
presenting a series of nine new brooches:

“My practice evolves around play, fun and random happenings. I work with silicone because it offers the flexibility, changeability and tactility I need to produce playful wobbly wearable beings. These brooches have a life of their own, often prompting the wearer to jiggle wiggle wobble and bounce along with them. They attract smiles and encourage interaction with others”.
