Abstract
My creative practice has evolved through my PhD research, exploring the languages and practices of International Style modernist architecture and jewellery. Challenging current notions of architectural image-making, I’ve created innovative artefacts that adorn the female form, with the understanding that this ornamentation directs our focus, creates experiences, enhances aesthetics, and transforms the body into an exhibition site. These ornaments embody symbolic roles that transcend time, place, and purpose and are experienced individually and socially.
