My making philosophy values mindfulness and open ended play. I am particularly interested in the tension between intent and chance happenings and explore this through formal investigations into the materiality of sterling silver, metal, colour and attachment to the body.
Artist list
Gillian Deery
I am an Auckland, New Zealand trained contemporary jeweller about to move to London.
My making practice is a self-knowing stranger who is both me and something other, existing in a dual space of working within and outside of my knowledge as a maker.

The making process exists as concurrent conversations with myself, between myself and the materials, and myself and existing notions of wearability and value. / Gillian Deery
