CONTEMPORARY NEW ZEALAND JEWELLERY

Sharon Fitness

Sharon Fitness graduated from MIT School of Visual Arts in 2007, majoring in Contemporary Jewellery. Sharon's work explores the concept of ‘jewelleryness,’ testing the fine line between everyday objects and wearable jewellery. She believes in saving the world one brooch at a time.

"My work revolves around the act of wearing; the feelings and impulses you have wearing, the reactions and comments you receive wearing and all the thoughts and motions that float in between. When wearing a floppy poppies brooch to an opening at Fingers I observed two elderly customers bouncing up and down hoping that I would bounce up and down to make my poppies wobble some more. One of the best interactions I observed was when I wore this piece to our local fruit shop. The lady at the checkout - who was always grumpy - cracked a smile as she watched the winkles wobbling. It might be just my imagination, but I am pretty sure she has been happier ever since that day."
