Project Roadkill originates from a personal creative challenge: the daily making of a piece of jewellery using materials found on the streets of Nelson and readymade findings (earring wires, brooch pins). The result is a body of work that playfully challenges traditional jewellery norms and our perception of value, which is traditionally informed by materials and craftsmanship.
Using found, discarded objects, this series refers to the origins of jewellery thousands of years ago: jewellery made from found - often seemingly valueless - objects such as shells and bones. Now, living in the Anthropocene, natural materials have been replaced by discarded manmade objects. The found objects still carry fragments of meaning, which are reassembled and reframed to create new narratives.
