‘Turangawaewae’ (Identity) is the theme for this year’s Biennial
Jewellery Exhibition organised by the Dowse Art Museum, Lower
Hutt, New Zealand to tour NZ 1998/99. I’m one of a dozen New
Zealand Jewellers selected to exhibit. Ths is my response so far.
I’m still finalising these pieces into cohesive bunches.

EDUCATION
This last range of dress-up specs will be produced as give-away
kitsets for Jo General Public to take away and play with.
Coincidently, the Dowse approached me and asked me if I had
anything they could hand out to classes of children, as they have a
great policy of educating the public, starting with 5 and 6
year-old children. I’ll adapt this kitset for their little knubby
fingers and the Dowse Educational Officer will take classes
through the exhibition and then they will each get to decorate
their own pair of dress-up specs. Groovy or what.
