Capturing Spaces and the Crinkle of Wire. Line traps space, Line claims space, Line calibrates space, Line captures a face! Other structures enter time locations and change the history and hey we have a new jewellery history. Larger than life structures transport lines into outer spaces. The human condition and personal places transport new jewellery as a measure of time. Larger than life continues.
Renowned goldsmith Robert Baines is recognized as a “Living Treasure” in his native Australia and Professor Emeritus at RMIT University in Melbourne. His work has been exhibited and collected internationally throughout his long career. Baines is a specialist in the study of archaeometallurgy (ancient jewelry production) and he incorporates ancient techniques into his art and the presented narratives.
