NCJA 2010- Finalist

National contemporary jewellery award is a biennial exhibition open to all jewellers in Australia. Last time I sent a ring to the competition and it was my first piece to sell. So this time I was more excited to enter. This exhibition is opening on 9th september 2010 and runs till 3rd october,2010 at GRIFFITH REGIONAL ART GALLERY,NSW.

Medium- Sterling silver, copper, mild steel, 9ct yellow gold, 22ct yellow gold, patination.

My work is a kinetic neckpiece so its shape can be changed by pulling it down or sideways. I have used around 190 petals, each of which is riveted together. I have used sequins in between to prevent wear and tear of metal and add friction. Layers of copper, silver, gold and mild steel are fused together and patina is applied for final finish.
