Bio
Elizabeth Shaw’s studio is in Brisbane Australia. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy and a Research Masters from Queensland College of Art Griffith University and a Bachelor Degree with Honours in Gold and Silversmithing (QCA) and an Associate Diploma of Silversmithing (QUT). She prioritises ethical and environmental concerns in her studio informing her materials choice, technical approaches and work methodology. She exhibits regularly and has been the recipient of grants, residencies and awards.Statement
I am interested in the societal and cultural values that are reflected in the objects we surround ourselves with. I particularly like jewellery for its rich history, its portability and its close association with the wearer and its role in communicating to the viewer. I am intrigued by how quickly something that was once valued can become ‘valueless’. A collected or found broken part of an object destined for or retrieved from landfill is quite often the starting point for my work. These ‘unvalued’ parts bring with them a history and I construct around them to embellish their story through additions. I draw on an aesthetic of repair and value honesty in materials. Ethical and environmental concerns are central to my studio practice and these inform how I approach my work.- Website Elizabeth Shaw
