This beetle is amazing! The titanium really mimics the harlequin colouring on real beetles, and to fold them out of flat, sawpierced sheet is true genius!
Love your work, and I'm glad to hear you're at the Rose Street Markets. I will have to make a day of it and visit all those clever artists again soon!
I am a jeweller from Melbourne who graduated with an Advanced Diploma of Jewellery Technology at NMIT in 2009. I construct tactile pieces that entice the wearer into playful interactions. Drawing inspiration from a childhood filled with origami, science fiction, puzzles and vintage toys, I use both precious metals and contemporary materials to make my creations. I relish technical challenges and treat the act of making as a puzzle in itself, finding the best design solution to produce objects that are entertaining and functional.
