Artist statement
I am a queer jewellery artist and healer, creating through the dreamscape.
Lately I’ve been co-creating with the land around me through ritual and natural rhythms, deepening my connection to indigenous worldviews, slower living, embodiment, and herbalism. These present themselves through my work in a multitude of ways, always centring on a theme of nurture.
During HANDSHAKE8 my works landed in themes of talisman, place, land, and healing of matrilineal lines by connecting to matriarchal power, instinct and intuition.
I return again and again to the indigenous belief that all beings
are part of a deeply interconnected ecosystem; not separate from each other, but are extensions of and kin to the earth itself.
Bio
Tūī Diprose (they/them) received a Diploma in Jewellery from Hungry Creek School of Art and Craft (2014-2017) and a Bachelor in Visual Art from Otago Polytechnic (2019-2020). They now create talisman jewellery; a ritualised offering imbuing objects with vibrational healing.
Tūī is a multidisciplinary creative; presently exploring psychological decolonisation, community-oriented living, gender queerness, embodiment and land-based spirituality.
