Juukan Tears<\/em> – the offcuts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

J<\/a>uukan Tears<\/a> \u2013 Offcuts<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After using a jewellers saw that is 0.25mm wide to hand saw around 200m of steel, I linked the cut pieces back together again to form a portrait of the headquarters of the biggest iron ore producer in Australia. To make the portrait, and the 4,600 tears that emanated from it, I cobbled together four separate sheets of recycled corrugated steel. One was swallowed practically whole, while the others left a few offcuts. Some of them were huge sheets with all corrugations intact, and others were small, even dainty. Jewellery scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The very limited edition Juukan Tears Offcuts<\/em> jewellery works are made from these. They are as they fell from the bench, with small jewellery fittings added to make thirty unique and eminently wearable pieces of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
