Areta Wilkinson, The Herbal Mixture, 2000. Collection of The Dowse Art Museum
A selection of stunning jewellery from The Dowse collection, each work with its own story to tell.
Jane Dodd, Lynn Kelly, Warwick Freeman, Areta Wilkinson, Octavia Cook, Kirsten Haydon, Kim Brice, Pauline Bern, Jacqui Chan, Daniel Clasby and Blair Smith infuse their jewellery with narratives from a range of inspirations. Jane Dodd's jewellery often reflects her fascination with memory, magic and fairy tales, like in Rumplestiltskin; in Visible Panty Line, Blair Smith has created a light hearted play on the suburban washing line; and Areta Wilkinson draws on her experience of illness and recovery in The Herbal Mixture.
