I had a piece published last month in Garland Magazine’s 25th issue Craft Currencies – Value is in our own hands<\/a><\/em>. Editor Dr Kevin Murray saw the work and asked me to write about the series Juukan Tears Offcuts<\/em> that<\/a> I made last year, through the lens of high\/low, rich\/poor, gallery\/gift shop craft. It is an interesting series to talk about the links\/divide between strata of craft, especially because the main work, Juukan Tears<\/a><\/em>, was in the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial while the Offcuts<\/em> were in the gift shop right across from it. To give a broader perspective I was able to reach out to fellow artist and purchaser of one of the Offcuts<\/em> works Tanya Lee<\/a> to talk about the impact and ramifications of having both sets of works in the same space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read the article here.<\/a> I also encourage you to read the piece by Bridget Kennedy<\/a> about her practice too, it’s great to have a bunch of stories about her makings and happenings collected in the one place. She’s the issues designated Thinker Maker<\/em>, and it’s a title she has well earned. Did you know she was also recently elected as a Councillor of Lane Cove in NSW? Community connection is her practice and her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While on the subject of Garland Magazine, you can also follow their socials<\/a> to see the guest posts<\/a> that I will be contributing over a couple of months, starting this week. Thematically linked to the current issue, the posts have the expected jewellery skew but will hopefully include a couple of sharp-ish turns from the usual line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far I’ve chatted with the amazing Jillian Moore<\/a>, a colleague whose ideas I love, and work I own, from Iowa in the USA. Jillian has recently set up a Patreon<\/a> to support her studio practice, to claw back some income from all the content that she, like most artists, produce for free that is distributed by the less-than-generous social media algorithms. Like so many makers she needed a bump to get back in her studio after a rough pandemic-induced financial year, and has found a way to give more, and get more, on her own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
