“The pieces are fictitious archaeological finds from a place and time unknown; elements of the landscape have transformed into wearable objects and vessels or existing ones have been corrupted and manipulated by the said mysterious place. The ambiguity of the materials, begs question of their origins and age.”
- Karla Way
Karla Way is a Melbourne-based jeweller and Fresh! 2007 exhibitor who is currently completing her Honours year in the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) Gold & Silversmithing at RMIT University.
