Water Vessel with Two Coastal Cushion Bush Neckpieces

Marian Hosking

I have re-worked some of my own silversmithing pieces combining a watery vessel with two coastal cushion bush neckpieces, I have powder-coated one red for this new audience. Jewellery has a privileged intimate association with the human body and has the capacity to signify more than the maker intended through its progressive passing from one person to another. I start with a close exanimation of plants always aware of shifting understanding and reading of nature as aligned with changing attitudes to Australian identity and the development of motifs that represent Australia. I express a specific vision and interpretation of the qualities of Australian light and landscape in my preferred medium silver.
