It started with a cup of tea six weeks ago and since then we have designed, made and opened the doors to our new venture Artifice Store! Artifice store is all about (awesome) Australian art and design. Not content to leave art just on the walls we, Matthew Bracken, Coconut Lu and myself have began the exciting task of curating and presenting an evolving range of clever, playful and beautifully made art and design products. Here is a sneak peak of our store....</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px;">2006. It was a common year that started on a Sunday. John Howard was PM and Pluto was no longer classified as a planet. <strong style="font-weight: 700;">It is often bandied about that art is a reflection of our society; intrigued, we set out to find what 2006 might have looked like in terms of contemporary jewellery. </strong>100 jewellers from across the globe have been invited to present one piece of jewellery they made 6 years ago. Presented as a salon hang, this exhibition will showcase an incredibly diverse array of jewellery and will give an overall snapshot of what these jewellers were thinking, making and the materials they were using all those years ago in 2006.</span><br />

Andy wanted to make a book about jewellery. See i told you it was going to be concise, and contacted all the jewellers he knew and invited them to be involved in this book. He then asked them to nominate three other jewellers to be involved, then their nominations were to nominate two more jeweller each and then... they were to nominate one lucky last jeweller (short yes, but i feel have made it sound complicated). The jewellers that chose to accept this mission had to design two pages of whatever their hearts desired and then send it back to Andy to put together..............and then a year later this is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">what</span> we <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">received</span> in the post!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAup_sH6Sf2fxA5m5OGwEC3fTIlF0vneIr8_Sb4QnzFagOOhpUlHt7LT51Fxp_GFkTosJftpAs2rTXVP5u0oP51cKF1lfuluoNl2uCQUWCN9Pr8JGqCcE20Ltt9z9V59Glt02Z0Rcdea4/s1600-h/IMG_0100.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333767431150309074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAup_sH6Sf2fxA5m5OGwEC3fTIlF0vneIr8_Sb4QnzFagOOhpUlHt7LT51Fxp_GFkTosJftpAs2rTXVP5u0oP51cKF1lfuluoNl2uCQUWCN9Pr8JGqCcE20Ltt9z9V59Glt02Z0Rcdea4/s320/IMG_0100.jpg" /></a>A snippet of why we were <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">nominated</span>.

Sally Marsland won that year and it was well deserved with her beautiful body of work 'Jewellery made with holes'.<br /><br />(my artist statment for '...very Emily Dickinson')<br />In the past the Field Trip series has been about the exploration of vitality and energy in nature. Field Trip ‘…very Emily Dickinson…’ follows this emotional response, but it is now the beginning of decay and the impermanence of nature that is depicted. By contrasting the perishable delicacy of the subject and the rigidity and strength of silver in which it is captured, the piece attempts to ‘snapshot’ a moment in time; the ephemeral becomes permanent, glazed in a brittle layer of enamel.Jessica Morrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15065235995222985137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505507193782467552.post-41026901033318451002008-12-14T20:41:00.000-08:002008-12-14T20:50:56.737-08:00Field Trip 'Rock Pools'<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdcDGQt4oMRelUVLuZQJQo6qFz8GlOm7db2ZJj5300h6zpHP-k1os2Mn5saqRgTwu46SX4zNRyIBXw8KaYNkIjRhGag3Hrtc0O7ggfY9OUHFs4HmeNXxGKmPy0_E0q0lVQoiaOZsXfwTY/s1600-h/JM-002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdcDGQt4oMRelUVLuZQJQo6qFz8GlOm7db2ZJj5300h6zpHP-k1os2Mn5saqRgTwu46SX4zNRyIBXw8KaYNkIjRhGag3Hrtc0O7ggfY9OUHFs4HmeNXxGKmPy0_E0q0lVQoiaOZsXfwTY/s320/JM-002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279873749732576946" border="0" /></a>Field Trip 'Rock Pool' Pink, orange and blue, 2005.

Fine Silver, Sterling Silver, 24ct Gold and Glass Enamel.<br /><br />(my artist statement for this body of work)<br /><br />My work is initially inspired by an instinctive emotional response to my natural surroundings. This delight is tempered by a closer observation of both the structure and randomness in its form and colour.<br />By working with easily malleable materials, such as wax and plasticine, I can quickly and intuitively create objects inspired by, but not mimicking, natural forms. Once cast, silver becomes a neutral canvas for the play of colour and surface via the use of enamel. The fluidity, fragility and unpredictability of enamel creates a controlled randomness in the finished object. This makes the piece snapshot-like in its capturing of an organic construct.<br /><br /><br />... and yes i did grow up next to the beach.Jessica Morrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15065235995222985137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505507193782467552.post-72719694614750017392008-12-14T20:17:00.000-08:002008-12-14T20:30:49.558-08:00Ralph and Clyde<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP5PLATR0AETZSKzavvgjuGa5pCckOskxBhR32SbJA_AOZBo3uG-DLDSu-L2alOfd8IqRcC0WN1o0OfrTMvdVqdW0PObze0r4EiM2CyjHlyJHJEGUCletvk7rlNII48p6CewSvS3dcyiw/s1600-h/JM-01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 204px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP5PLATR0AETZSKzavvgjuGa5pCckOskxBhR32SbJA_AOZBo3uG-DLDSu-L2alOfd8IqRcC0WN1o0OfrTMvdVqdW0PObze0r4EiM2CyjHlyJHJEGUCletvk7rlNII48p6CewSvS3dcyiw/s320/JM-01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279866661723265858" border="0" /></a>'Ralph and Clyde' (The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">original</span> beasts), sugar bowl and milk jug, 2005.<br />Fine Sliver and Glass Enamel.<br />I didn't know it at the time but these guys were the beginning of many adventures to come!Jessica Morrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15065235995222985137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505507193782467552.post-9330217955926888602008-12-11T21:13:00.000-08:002008-12-11T21:34:31.943-08:00Princess C, Lady J and the Upper Crust Studio Sale<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPJRKDSweyLX7IGoPhgm5Z_1GV2kNMAwtp8DHqEbv1-o_ed297RCBTNCdr8ah8G8aHDiGo4V42vroc2dXX1ysIf99JLUdJlCluMDAX2P_dBccuSXqa6jKl0s42uzBPaY1Su6wfINIjCaM/s1600-h/image001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPJRKDSweyLX7IGoPhgm5Z_1GV2kNMAwtp8DHqEbv1-o_ed297RCBTNCdr8ah8G8aHDiGo4V42vroc2dXX1ysIf99JLUdJlCluMDAX2P_dBccuSXqa6jKl0s42uzBPaY1Su6wfINIjCaM/s320/image001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278767792860672994" border="0" /></a><br />Come one, come all, we are having our 1st ever studio sale and yes i know i have left it late to advertise but better now than never.<br />The doors are open today <span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday the 12th 12pm - 6pm</span> and tomorrow <span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday the 13th 10am - 2pm.

</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Viva las fire!</span><br /> <strong><em><br /> </em></strong>Pieces of Eight Gallery’s current exhibition <strong><em>Baked Not Fried</em></strong> has been extended for one week only- a great opportunity to catch the exhibition if you have yet to view it!<br /><br />Baked Not Fried showcases the work of several contemporary artists and jewellers who employ the technique of <strong>enamelling</strong> in inventive and fantastical ways.<br /><br />From the delicate and shimmering to the humorous and poetic, Baked Not Fried reveals the diversity of enamel work being explored in both contemorary jewellery and object form. Each artist delivers exceptional work characterised by the expressive freedom found in their use of enamel. The exhibition debuts German jeweller, <strong>Tabea Reulecke</strong> and <strong></strong>Austrian jeweller, <strong>Steffi Kalina</strong> showing their work for the first time in Australia, exhibiting alongside local enamellists <strong>Jane Millard, Jess Morrison, Katrina Tyler, Bridie Lunney,</strong> and <strong>Katherine Brunacci</strong>. Baked Not Fried exposes the shift in the way enamel is being used today - in its application as a surface and more importantly in its materiality. Look closely at the edges of the pieces and you will see the poetic subtleties of this delicate process - and what can only be planned by not planning.<br />A more detailed description of the exhibition, specific artist statements and bios are available on request or click here. <strong>I look forward to seeing you at the gallery to view our first exhibition dedicated to new directions in enamelling.<br /> </strong> <strong>Melanie Katsalidis, Director.<br /> </strong> <br /> <strong></strong><br /> <br /><a name="11c26c25c4455500_Paragraph_2"></a> Pieces of Eight Gallery 635 Brunswick Street North Fitzroy.

She’s describing her work as referencing the everyday and earthiness and explaining that they are tools for living. I’m confused because these Beasts, who are witness to our conversation, appear to have been borne of an absinthe fuelled liaison between Faberge and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Merric</span> Boyd. The sculptural animal forms of the hand-built vessels do have an earthiness to them but the ornate embellishments, the gilt surfaces, the precious stones, the gold leaf and enamel have me looking for the Imperial Eggs from which they must have just hatched.<br /><br />Just as Morrison successfully combines the rustic and the decorative, so too her creatures are at once wild animals and yet again the tamed members of a fantastical menagerie. The vessels simultaneously reference the sacred reliquary and the domestic caddy. And her rings and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">neckpieces</span> are evocative of tribal ceremonial practices as well as the cheap thrills found in a gumball machine.<br /><br />It would be easy to simply describe this work as whimsy, but these beast-vessels are serious in their roles as protectors of their contents. A bejewelled kangaroo king sits proudly astride his wombat steed, protecting his cargo from marauders. The King of the Jungle stares heavenward in contemplation of the secrets contained within his belly. And the Peacock, the symbol of pride and vanity hides his tail in respect of his responsibility as guardian.<br /><br />I’m still slightly confused but equally enamoured of these Beasts. Although they would not be out of place in a vitrine of archaeological <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">artefacts</span>, I think I would prefer to see them on my kitchen bench guarding my precious store of Camellia <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">sinensis</span>.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Pene</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Durston</span><br />15/4/08<br />We all love a monster. Pieced together, never quite ‘right’, brought to life by a sick and twisted mind, a little bit Dr Frankenstein, a little bit Dr <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Moreau</span>, single minded, focused upon the creation of a unique creature.<br />So when a chimera is created, melding those <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">lynchpins</span> of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Australiana</span>, a kangaroo and a wombat, how do we react?<br />If you know Jess Morrison’s work you feel like laughing. Laughing with the sheer joy and humour of the macabre world she imagines. At first you see her kangaroo, decked in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">bling</span>, scratching his tummy as he ‘rides’ his wombat bodyguard but you soon realise that all is not quite, well, normal. As if they had been in a freakish accident, say through the matter transporter in the movie ‘The Fly’, they have become a new species, the hybrid <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Kangambat</span>, still recognisable in the sum of their parts but happily moving on as strange ‘conjoined twins’.<br />Decorative boxes, reliquaries, keepsake and trinket boxes, are a tradition of the gold and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">silversmithing</span> arts. But rarely will you see three boxes that seem, so full of personality, to enjoy their role so much. The tiger may bite or roll <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">kittenishly</span> on his back to have his tummy rubbed. The peacock, by being both 2 and 3 dimensional, depicted in both a traditional and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">cartoonish</span> puddle-duck-like way, will raise his head when you lift the lid.<br />Jess is one of those rare people whose work, even when pushing technical and artistic boundaries (and occasionally the boundaries of taste!) will always bring a smile to one’s face. Her work, though gestural and immediate, is backed by thoughtful planning and modelling. The subject matter is always close to her heart, or in the case of the teeth, grounded in dental genetics. (If you get her at a free moment ask her to recount “Adventures in South American Dentistry”- you will soon understand her obsession with teeth.) What could be grotesque is instead happy, joyous and endearing, without being saccharine and cloying. Her tigers still have claws, her teeth still have bite, her golden dog might just be about to squat for a pooh on the green enamel grass of a silver ring. Her work is always trembling with life, on the verge of laughing, blooming or running away, and is certainly never staid or dull.

Many thanks to everyone that came to help me celebrate the opening of my first solo show and of course many, many, many million billion thanks to those that helped me make it all happen!Jessica Morrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15065235995222985137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505507193782467552.post-25924878488435092392008-04-11T01:13:00.000-07:002008-12-09T15:50:53.399-08:00Beast<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3IPWk14q3agTs5oUl4tEEDgFDMYO8Et7Qaq7ts9nMfBgDZ1ltlMmiijsBSytgrL4WxgcWwzaOnosSSmUf1KZsRh6PZnUF5rohDrqpzfDDXxa0xadDIj5s_ctLwGtLkI1VoQRUa90zGw/s1600-h/upcoming_clip_image002_0012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3IPWk14q3agTs5oUl4tEEDgFDMYO8Et7Qaq7ts9nMfBgDZ1ltlMmiijsBSytgrL4WxgcWwzaOnosSSmUf1KZsRh6PZnUF5rohDrqpzfDDXxa0xadDIj5s_ctLwGtLkI1VoQRUa90zGw/s320/upcoming_clip_image002_0012.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187906061032378866" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div>I'm very excited (scared, panic-struck.....) my exhibition is opening on Thursday night, 17th of April at <a href="http://craftvic.asn.au/exhibit/upcoming.htm">Craft Victoria</a> 31 Flinders Lane in the City, 6 'til 8pm. The lovely Francesca Valmorbida of <a href="http://www.pablofanque.com.au/">Pablo Fanque</a> in Sydney will be launching this crazy ship!</div><div><br /></div><div>In 'Beast' I am exploring the creating of pieces capturing the 'spirit' and attributes of my favourite animals but with my own interpretation as to what these maybe! Tough little wombats, kittenish tigers, bling kangaroos and cocky peacocks, turning them into reliquaries, boxes in which to store a favourite object, keepsake or memento.</div><div>Having had years of painful dental issues, I've , also, worked 'Beast' into making personal votive talismans. If they won't behave in my mouth I will make replacements! Animal teeth made of enameled silver and gold leaf, and brass and gold leaf, strung together on string. I have finished the collection off with a group of rings, peacock feathers, dogs, tigers and hearts, what every girl needs to protect her.</div>Jessica Morrisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15065235995222985137noreply@blogger.com1
