Sassy Park

Volcanic Garden

Dec 2014 - Jan 2015

 

Sassy Park  is the  kind of woman  who is busrting to  create, and the ideas  she bristles with are  joyful and exciting, so much so they have to live in different mediums, as such  Sassy has become a multimedia artist with a  myriad of talents across  severl arenas.  Sassy  is jeweller, painter, ceramicist, crafter,  and thats just this year, but what  Sassy is interested in is impermenance.

 

In this current project, Sassy Park is interested in changing the perceptions of traditional jewellery materials and also the permanence of jewellery.  

 

Exploring natural and unconventional materials to make functional pieces is a way of playing with the recalibration of our value systems. Just as expensive jewellery is treated with respectful care, so too should the delicate beauty of lichen and the often overlooked natural environment on our doorstep.

 

The fact that the materials are not ‘forever’ moves away from the idea that we will have something that lives beyond us. This also reflects on the provenance of these materials which we now think of as impermanent; the snow gum landscape, the pumice raft floating across the Pacific Ocean, the lichen, seaweeds – vanishing aspects of unseen and rare environments.
