Image credit. Inari Kiuru. I’ve been thinking about the idea of ‘contemporary hunter-gathering’ lately, based on my decade-long habit of local walks, on which I often pick up small discarded things and contemplate the nature of ‘beauty’, change and the passing of time, along with materiality. This body of work investigates the way I see: what I notice; what I find interesting, and how this carries forward into my practice. The origins of many of my pieces, as well as material experiments, lie in the recognising the importance of noticing small detail and curiously noting what surrounds us in our everyday environment. - The work for our show could consist of images and small collections of objects, organic as well as synthetic human debris, and perhaps include a booklet of photos/drawings with free-form writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088d61473ea5e22c3070b51/1eec17a9-b6a2-4dc2-b3c7-8f652e335a25/Hold+2_sml.JPG Portfolio Claire McArdle, 'Hold', 2021, reused steel, brass, recycled messmate (Eucalyptus obliqua), 220x115x65mm.

Based in Wellington New Zealand since 2004, McDonald tutored in the contemporary jewellery programme at Whitireia (2007-2019), is a longtime participant in the Handshake mentoring project and completed a Masters of Visual Art at Massey University (2019). McDonald excavates meaning from discarded domestic and industrial objects, melding the narratives of home, workshop and motherhood to explore both power and gender constructs. Her jewellery re-contextualisations traverse tense and complex territories between people, bodies and things, revealing much about the labours and lived experiences of women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088d61473ea5e22c3070b51/1630970393738-4BP3D2G13AF1PYKYH7T3/Victoria+McIntosh%2C+Full+Bloom%2C+2020%2C+found+brass+vases%2C+upholstery+vinyl%2C+ribbon%2C+paint%2C+300+x+160+x+160mm+each.+Image+credit.+Victoria+McIntosh About - VICTORIA EDIN Victoria Edin has graduated twice from the Dunedin School of Art, firstly in 1991 with a DFA in printmaking and again in 2005, with a BFA in Jewellery and Metalsmithing.

Working predominantly in Muka, a raw fibre from the Harakeke plant, and producing wearable adornments which draw on shapes and motifs from the wider Moana Oceania she produces works that are hybrids of cultural traditions. Using craft as a tool to explore wider ideas, the objects made are vessels to talk about ideas and thoughts that are often hard to discuss, a soft approach to difficult topics of culture, identity negotiation and ownership. Panther completed a Diploma in Contemporary Photography from Unitec in 2002, a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Elam in 2008. She has exhibited in Aotearoa, London and Paris. In 2021 she was a recipient of the Blumhardt Foundation Dame Doreens Gift and a panelist in the International lace symposium Doily free zone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6088d61473ea5e22c3070b51/1630971098977-9KQVL6F58OLP9UNAK1F6/Lisa+Waup%2C+Marked+Time%2C+2001+%28detail%29%2C+hand+dyed+fibre%2C+found+watch+parts%2C+found+clock+parts%2C+emu+feathers%2C+cotton+thread%2C+acrylic+hoop%2C+290+x+270+x+35mmm.+Image+credit.+Lisa+Waup About - LISA WAUP Lisa Waup is a mixed-cultural First Nations woman with a multidisciplinary art practice.
