Synopsis
Exploring the distinction between contemporary art jewellery and manufactured retail and costume jewellery, this work concentrates on the practice of contemporary art jewellery in Australia and New Zealand. The author argues that in Australia there is no identifiable "type" of contemporary work flourishing at the expense of another and it is possible to talk about a national style. However, she asserts that this is not the case in New Zealand where much of the finest work being made has an immediate and identifiable flavour. The book examines some of the more interesting offerings from the Australian and New Zealand scene in order to provide a background to developments in both countries and to place the work within the context of the fine arts.
