What Rebecca Ward's jewellery is about
Rebecca says, "I look for the unexpected when selecting and combining
materials. One of the most enjoyable aspects of this is collecting the materials:
pebbles from remote beaches in New Zealand, fragments of glass from old seaside
resort areas and vintage found objects from junk stores. I am drawn to small
objects that have their own histories and convey a sense of place and time.
It is important for art to tell a story from the heart and jewellery offers
a portable medium for this. My work investigates themes of lost times, environment,
and journeys. Visit my fossicking gallery to see some of the places I have sourced material."
