The Box Project @ Masterworks Gallery, Auckland, NZ, May, 2011

Masterworks. What can I say apart from you guys ABSOLUTELY rock. Lynsay, Eloise, Christine, Cath, Raewyn (and anyone else who I may not have mentioned). Thank you all so very much for welcoming me and The Box Project with open arms. I had the most amazing time here in Auckland. Being at the gallery was very relaxing and inspiring.

A huge success, couldn’t have done it with-out you (and all the cups of tea and cake and burger fuel!). 

Pre installation, laying all the work out.

It was both relieving and sad flying back to Australia knowing that this would be the last showing of The Box Project. Relieving because it is a hell of a lot of work orchestrating and curating an exhibition on your own and now I can focus back on my work but really sad because the show is quite simply incredible, different, experimental, unusual, highly interesting and it celebrates contemporary jewellery in all forms and the work deserves so much more attention and exposure. It would be so lovely to see the show at Schmuck  Jewellery fair, Munich, Germany or at Velvet da Vinci in San Francisco, USA. If I think big, anything is possible.

And that’s about a wrap (for now).
