Practicing NOT making jewellery
NOT using metal
To move beyond where I’m at
It’s a challenge
Everything wants to be a necklace
Collecting, Deconstructing, Reconstructing
 |
 |
 |
A double sided homemade cardboard loom with a built in hole
Site for experimental weaving
Knotting the yarn every handspan
Mistakes repeat, embedded within the pattern
I force the weaving from the loom so it almost collapses.
Black coated electrical wire becomes its new skeleton
the excess cord left as hanging mechanism
An opportunity…
Is it a necklace?
 |
 |
 |
Is wall jewellery still jewellery?
Maybe it can respond to a specific space
A corner
A window
A doorknob
 |
 |
 |
Carving out space for myself
And for Handshake
Recording how my time is spent with daily diagrams and doodles
Documenting both quantifiable and non rational information
Data visualisation
As commodity to inform my work
How to evoke a visceral response from an object?
Working intuitively while codifying personal data into woven forms
Using found objects and materials as a starting point to create something new
 |
 |
 |
I am rediscovering what feeds me
Exploring potential
Using this transitional period as content and emotional impetus
It’s Matariki after all.
