Modern Mysticism, group exhibition at JamFactory, Adelaide, 2020

My designs for Modern Mysticism reflect on humanity’s eternal search for meaning & guidance. Presented as imagined fragments of anthropological relics, they are imbued with other-worldly messages sent from a hidden realm. 

Created through the eyes of a curious non-believer, I’m intrigued by the devotional practices of ancient civilisations. Just as jewellery has been worn throughout time for protection & guardianship; as a talisman against evil forces, these pieces extend upon this history, sending messages from the imagined immortals to empower & embolden their wearer. 

Traversing time & place and metaphysical space, my jewellery seeks to question the essence of our modern day existence. As humans have always sought guidance from external forces, these designs send a Divine revelation that power is hidden within ourselves – if we stop and observe long enough to discover it.
