Fitness

Its no secret that I am a huge fan of Sharon Fitness' work.
Found an online version of the catalogue for 'handSTAND' (curated by Peter Deckers), the feature exhibition of the NZ Jewellery Show 2009, and loved her statement about her work :)

"For many people, the word jewellery conjures up images of gold, diamonds and mass produced bling. This adorned baggage has led me to explore alternative visual and contextual communications surrounding wearable objects that do not fit the traditional jewellery mould. I create silicone jewels that, by design, encourage the wearer to interact with the object, negotiating how it is worn and how it appears to the outside world. This in turn encourages play and interaction between the wearer and observer. These floppy, changeable objects offer new possibilities for adorning and viewing jewellery, creating temporal art experiences for random audiences."
