Just posting up some new work I made for an exhibition called FEAST, which was held from the 20th- 24th in Sydney's The Depot Gallery. I've got to say a big thank you to the curator Zoe Brand for sorting everything out!

Gillian Deery's work
We thought our works complimented each other.Last night was the opening night for my jewellery exhibition at Fingers Contemporary Jewellery gallery, this was the outcome for the award I won at M.S.V.A, a fellow recent graduate Gillian Deery also is exhibiting as she won Unitec's equivalent. It was a good turn out of people for such a small place and I want to thank all the people who came and had a geez. I've already sold two pieces - Yay! So that was a total bonus. I'm still on a high from last night actually, seeing my work next to the likes of Lisa Walker, Octavia Cook, Fran Allison, Joanna Campbell and the godfathers of contemporary New Zealand Jewellery; Warwick Freeman and Alan Preston. So if anyone wants to go have a look its on from 13th to the 25th of July. Opposite the Auckland Art Gallery on Kitchener St or on www.fingers.co.nz - there are detailed images of both works.

Idea books
Friday, April 10, 2009
When your a maker get this irresistible tingling feeling and you have to make, Know the feeling?? 
I needed to make, so one day I thought about how I really love textures and patterns, material and ....typography! And theres something incredibly exciting about felt type stitched onto yummy material. mmmmmmm candy!
Something else I love is a really cool visual diary. I think it started at the end of my second year at uni when I could only use black ink pens to write with because they looked neater and there was a consistency. Then I would stencil titles every where and do random drawings every where. By the time I was in my last year I was covering the inside selves with cool patterned paper, material, ribbon wall paper, whatever floated my boat at the time. A fellow student said to me, you know you don't get marked on that right. I knew, but I really didn't care! When I was bored and annoyed, staring at the wall because my work just wasn't working this is what I did, and then I found playing around with decorating my visual diary made my work, work in a strange way, it became a part of my creative process. So I've started making idea books for my friends, books to jot down those secret family recipes etc who knows where they will go but here you go hope you like them, if you would like one flick me an e
mail or txt.

A Past Life
Friday, March 13, 2009
Hello All,
Unsure about the general consensus with my fellow bloggers/uni mates but I for one am going mental because I am not creating much stuff at all! After leaving uni I have found that it is harder than it looks to keep the creative process up and running. So I have decided to post up all my older works in an effort to inspire myself and maybe some of you guys to get back into it! Just make stuff because you want too! Or go back to your old lecturer and ask them to mentor you. Or apply for an art grant or exhibition coz that'll force you off your ass! Remember how fun it was to make? I think I am saying this stuff more for myself really, but if you wanna do it to, whats stopping you?
Ok so this was for a multiples brief I did in 2007. We had to make jewellery which could be repeated if need be. It introduced us into the manufacturing aspect of jewellery. These are moulds of cacti and succulents. I've made them out of brightly coloured resin which ends up looking quite strange and alien like.
These are my 2008 (Year 4) 1st semester works. Put simply I was trying to create souvenirs of a house, which didn't quite work out. Although the context didn't come through I think some of the objects ended up to be quite beautiful. Like the last on the right - the wall paper poop brooch as I call it. This series of work was a prelude to my birds and cages (which was my 2nd semester year 4 work) shown below.
The images below are of an exhibition I was in at the Papakura Art Gallery in January 2008. It was the first exhibition I had been in so I was quite excited! Vivienne Hohaia from M.S.V.A had set the whole thing up with the gallery which was pretty lucky and almost all the jewellers in my year had a spot in it. Amy Li, Sandra Khang, Vivienne Hohaia and I
There were 6 pieces to this work, 3 pieces of jewellery and 3 books. The books are meant to go along side a specfic piece of jewellery and offer a narrative to it. I wanted to visually show the idea of how any piece of jewellery comes with a story of its own and also gets overlaid with ones own memories and stories when you get involved with it. Although the jewellery pieces themselves aren't amazing I think my books are beautiful! my favourites being the plug and teacup books. My favourite piece of jewellery would be the set of teacup rings - one empty and one full of coffee and flowers.
Im sure Ill dig up some more images of my past creations so I'll post em up too!
Happy Friday the 13th!
Jewellery Found In A Shoe Box, In The Back Of A Wardrobe
Sunday, January 11, 2009
Once upon a time a girl called Anne became a jeweller, she made lots of little delights, gluing, sticking, soldering, riveting miniature narratives together, telling all sorts of wonderful tales. Then along came a girl called Lynette, she was a bit of a nutter and did all sorts of things. Some times they would end in jewellery, or animations or even photography. Together these two girls just loved to make, tell stories, and play. Their creations are made and let go into the world, those that stay behind are boxed away, these were found in a shoe box in the back of a wardrobe.

Euology 06
Saturday, September 6, 2008
Jewellery by Madamelle
Eulogy explores the idea of the ring, to frame and contain the finger,
resembling completeness, a gift, a symbol, public and private space.
The images that we project and those that we contain as private.
Eulogy is a dedication to the memory of my Grandmother.
