- About
- I have always had an interest for the natural organic world around me, often picking up seed pods on adventures and delighting in new found plants and flowers when I was a child. Through fine arts and jewellery I have taken this love and created a range of jewellery that explores space, fluidity and balance through organically shaped sculptural forms which seem to float on the body. This is done in a range of metals such as silver and gold, with patina effects to “sketch” my ideas into metal. It is my intention to stimulate the viewer and delight the wearer appreciating these pieces both on and off the body but still maintaining their interest over time, creating an appreciation for organic form and the myriad of secrets that lie within.

- Holy Moly, Michelle. You've gone from trying to motivate yourself, to having 60 or 70 gazillion pieces to polish, virtually overnight... Please tell me I'm in no way responsible. Next you'll have RSI, burn out, and end up a curator or lecturer instead of a maker. Heaven forbid...! You must try to desensitise. I recommend developing a series of high-end souvenirs for somewhere that you've never been to, then having a well-earned holiday there, funded by flogging said souvenirs. That should cure you. Or perhaps it'll cure me... I'll buy one of those, provided it's made from petroleum-derived plastics, which seem to be all the rage at the moment...
Seriously, have you thought of polishing in a vibrating ball mill...? It's fine if you've used one of the new tarnish resistant silvers to fabricate from. And you can then still final polish with rouge to yield highlights and leave lowlights.
Glad to hear you're so into it. Go You.
Cheers,
Phill.

- Hey Michelle,
I see yesterday that you're trying to motivate yourself...
Well, it's all cyclical. Ups and downs...
For what its worth, I find that it helps me to remember that the root of the idea of motivation is motion - to move. Sometimes I find that simply beginning is the biggest obstacle, but that once I'm underway, I then wonder why I didn't start earlier...!
I've been known to be a terrible procrastinator. Ultimately I've found that it doesn't help to think too much about an action. Rather, just do it. [This reminds me of that old joke: one of these days I'm going to do something about my procrastination...]
Even when you don't feel like it, just starting, and getting moving, leads to motivation.
Go for it. Go You...
Cheers,
Phill.

I'm glad you could make it and enjoyed the symposium. There is so much to think about! the challenge will be to avoid feeling overwhelmed. I was really interested in the different ways people are approaching the matter and where their thoughts are leading. Next year I'll make sure I allow a coffee break so we can encourage more discussion.
cheers
