CONTEMPORARY NEW ZEALAND JEWELLERY

October 26 - November 6   2004

"Cut Outs"
Brooches by Sandra Bushby

"Since 2003 I have been making sculptural installations and brooches using domestic fabric and the handcraft of embroidery.
The brooches for this exhibition have been inspired by New Zealand hand made jewellery from the 1930's era. My approach is modernist cut out techniques and traditional embroidery methods. Using the scissors and fabric I have cut out positive/ negative geometric shapes and embedded found objects in to the fabric.
Materials used are found objects such as bakelite and glass haberdashery combined with felt, linen or towels. Random themes such as navigation have been developed as a direct result of meanings associated with a particular found object."
Sandra Bushby, 2004
