Julie Blyfield

Get yourselves down to Form gallery and see the amazing retrospective of Julie Blyfield's work!

Hanging Rock

I've come to decide on the direction in which to take my 'on-casting' - Peter Weir's film 'Picnic At Hanging Rock'. I love the contrast of victoriana with the Australian wilderness. I hope to reference traditional forms of jewellery with uncut gemstones and seemingly naive settings.

Down The Garden Path

Success!

My experimentation with the technique of on-casting worked! I was quite prepared for failure. The best results are the two rings to the back - lava stone on the right and uncut diamond to the left.

Fremantle, I Love You.

Cast Off

Three of my cast lace brooches have been selected to be shown in an exhibition in Sydney! It's a shame I won't be able to see them on display, I wish I could have scoped out how other artists use the technique of casting in their work too. The work will be on display in the Keeper Gallery at gaffa over October.

Stamp!

This semester I'm continuing to look into the impression of textiles into metal. I hope to cast wax impressions taken from of textile design stamps.
