Artist Statement

Katzinka Tschierschky is a Melbourne-based goldsmith and jewellery designer. Born and raised in Germany, she studied goldsmithing at the Zeichenakademie (Hanau) for three years and a year of jewellery design at the Fachhochschule fur Gestaltung (Pforzheim) before emigrating to Australia in 1999. She went on to study jewellery and 3D design at Curtin University in Western Australia, where she won both the “Artisans of the Sea” award for outstanding achievement in Jewellery/3D design, and the award for best student in the third year visual research programme. She moved to Melbourne in 2001 and has since been working as an independent jeweller.

In addition to working with found objects, Katzinka favours a two dimensional approach. Through the use of the traditional technique of hand engraving and carving she transforms the medium of drawing into three dimensional wearable pieces.

“my inspiration is the old, the odd, the found, the image, contrasts and colours, stones, the sparkle, the light and the heavy, the story, the movement, the moment, distance and lines.”

Exhibitions include When It Rains It Pours (MDF 2007), Gallery Deux Poisons (Tokyo 2007), e.g.etal installation (Melbourne 2007), Jewel Fair (Seoul 2007), Penthouse Mouse (Melbourne 2008), Thonet chair 18 (MDF 2008).

Artist Statement:

David Parker produces jewellery that embodies a uniquely modern spirit. Beautifully developed pieces range from elaborate constructions to elegantly simple designs; often concealing their underlying complexity. The Melbourne based designer brings very strong technical knowledge and innovation to his handmade, bold contemporary designs.

His Lord Coconut range features a number of pieces that explore the more irreverent facets of David’s personality. In this collection David has incorporated inspiration from numerous areas and periods of his career. For that reason you will find musings from pop culture, history and even humour sitting along side the more recognizable aesthetics of sculptural and architectural forms.

David likes to see his work as an interpretation of art deco architecture and modern sculptural influences. He is heavily influenced by the shapes and forms of these movements. His metal work reflects the bold forms, sweeping curves and clean edges often found in both these movements. David brings a very modern aspect to his work, as he feels it's important to embrace new design and to be relevant to his own time and place.
