On Now
SPLINK is an exhibition that celebrates the eclectic, experimental spirit at the heart of my jewellery practice. The title itself, a made up word, reflects my playful and intuitive approach to making - unbound by tradition and open to discovery.
Each piece emerges from hands-on exploration, where materials and techniques are tested, reimagined, and transformed. Aluminium and Perspex sit alongside knitted and manipulated textiles, offering unexpected dialogues between industrial, synthetic, and hand-crafted elements. This restless curiosity fuels my process: as I look to not just adorn the body, but to expand what jewellery can be.
The exhibition also extends into its own staging, with custom-made stands dressed in ‘garments’ I have created, echoing the experimental energy of the jewellery itself. SPLINK invites viewers into a space where material, form, and imagination collide - an evolving conversation between adornment, object, and display.

An exhibition exploring the theme of "Veil" through Japanese crafts, touring two venues in New Zealand. Focusing on the delicate and ephemeral nature of materials such as Japanese paper (washi), white porcelain, wool, and incense, visitors can experience a quiet world of expression where visual and sensory perceptions intertwine as if dissolving into the air. The concept of "Veil" symbolizes both concealment and revelation, boundaries and expansion. The works range from those with a lightness that seems to drift in space to others that engage the sense of touch. Through expressions woven with culture, memory, and personal experience, this exhibition offers a fresh perspective and beauty shaped by the techniques and sensibilities of Japanese artists.
Exhibition Curator - Rieko Woodford-Robinson

We each can see different colours differently, for some a variation in shading and for others a change in richness. We can recognise a world with the colours inverted and follow a story told in colour while following the one told in line.
Even the dullest blue grey day leaves some colour and on the brightest of days all the saturation is stripped away, and the colour is mixed with bright white. This exhibition highlights the invisible, presents a face of entropy, offers characters to explore with and a series of abstract Wellington landscapes.
