open season


In keeping with the theme of November, several of my pieces have featured in another opening, this time at Test Tube Objects in Perth. The opening party on Wednesday night (just gone) included several new works and featured my favourite of the moment – the little number below.

Champagne Floating 8 Point Star. Sandblasted titanium, stainless steel cable, blackened 925 silver snake chain. Melissa Cameron 2010.

Perth jewellery royalty, Katherine Kalaf, has been involved behind the scenes of Test Tube’s recent foray into the sale of jewellery. I, for one, am very happy to know that there is a new space celebrating Australian jewellers in Perth, as since the closure of Katherine’s gallery in Cottesloe and the recent shut-down (pending relocation) of Form’s retail space has left two rather gaping holes in the Perth jewellery scene.

So my thanks go to Philia Kailis, of Test Tube, for taking a punt on putting some contemporary artist jewellery in her store. It’s a wonderful thing.
