Exhibition
I was immediately inspired by the necklace like elements of the flowers from the Tree Tutu. Some pieces want to be made, and come to life almost transcendentally. Movement and texture are a strong focus in this collection of jewellery, lending itself to multifarious adornments.
The individual elements of these works in abstract form - resemble tiny bones. A subconscious nod to the toxicity of the plant. Known more commonly by farmers as Toot, it's seductive berries have claimed many curious livestock and humans in times gone by.

Grounded in the fundamentals of technique, my work emerges from a conceptual base; a fascination with form and a love of adornment.
I use curves, textures and simple geometric shapes to create modernist jewellery.
R O B I N I jewellery was established in 2001.
I trained in Nelson and went on to work as part of shared workshops and galleries, in Nelson and Dunedin. And then later independently in my own studio workshop.
My vision in my work is to converge timeless elegance with contemporary design.
With a deep appreciation for the art of jewellery making, I create contemporary pieces that pay homage to renowned jewellery traditions while embracing the spirit of modernity.
I am inspired by the rich heritage of exquisite craftsmanship, and the fusion of tradition with innovation.
In my creative process, I blend traditional goldsmithing techniques with contemporary design aesthetics. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, combining extensive years of training with cutting edge technologies. This juxtaposition of old and new allows me to create jewellery that is both classic and contemporary, capturing the essence of timeless elegance while pushing the boundaries of design.
