Philip Noakes is one of Australia’s most respected contemporary jewellers, goldsmiths and silversmiths with a reputation as a consummate and highly original and innovative craftsman. He works in Perth, Western Australia. After studying at the prestigious Sir John Cass College of Art in London and gaining a Diploma in the Design and Craftsmanship of Silversmithing, Philip travelled to Australia in 1975 and quickly established his enviable reputation. Philip’s passion is silversmithing, and his technical knowledge and expertise enable him to explore ideas that play with variations on classical forms, different textures, surface treatments and techniques. His dedication and outstanding work were recognised when he was conferred as a Fellow of the Institute of Professional Goldsmiths, United Kingdom, in 2016, making him only one of 170 recipients worldwide and the only silversmith in Australia.
Statement
I was interested in forming and shaping metal from the very first copper and brass candlestick that I made in high school.While studying in London I learnt the history of gold and silversmithing from Byzantium times to the 20th century. I was particularly drawn to the simplicity, minimalism and refinement of Scandinavian silversmiths and the aesthetic and manual skills of Arts and Crafts movement craftsmen and women. They have had a profound influence on my own career and continue to inspire me to this day.
I have collaborated with many highly regarded goldsmiths, silversmiths and jewellers on ceremonial, civic and private commissions, and worked with the late silversmith Louis Osman whose unique techniques highlighted the forming and hammering on surface textures.
I continue to pursue innovation and excellence in my work and I keep the continuity of my craft alive with historical references and contemporary concepts. My latest body of work encompasses the traditional forms, combining traditional skills with modern fabrication techniques and sculptural aesthetics. I have paid attention to the beauty of the material using to rhythmically create spirally surfaces with lightly matt, polished and oxidized surfaces. Some objects are heat treated-treated copper, which show the wonderful richness of the material.
