Pink Drip explores the role of jewellery and the jeweller within a consumerist society defined by widespread fast fashion. Formerly valued as handcrafted memory keepers, protectors, and identity markers, charms have been collected over a lifetime, imbued with intimacy and significance. Today, however, charm necklaces are sold as disposable fashion jewellery, cheap, pre-styled and devoid of meaning. Pink Drip is inspired by that shift. Each charm is made from mass-produced fragments from our consumer landscape. Set in polished brass, these throwaway objects are elevated to the status of relics, receiving the care and respect once reserved for heirlooms.

These works are part of the Object Maker Aoteroa group show at The Arts House Trust, Pah Homestead, Auckland, NZ, June-August 2026
