Bridie Lander – new jewellery + objects

Jam Factory - Gallery 2

Objects including experimental forms, wearable objects and vessels of dubious ‘homeware’ functionality, are made with the intention of inhabiting a space between; between the artificial and the organic, the digital and the handmade, the real and the imagined, the scientific and the fantastical. The works in this exhibition are part of an investigation and questioning of how we, as organic beings, are absorbed in a technological reality, and to highlight possible connections between the biological and the digital.

Lander hand-crafts wearable rings, brooches, neckpieces and non-wearable objects using a combination of materials as diverse as her structures, including plastics, resins, silver, copper and ceramics.

A studio-based designer, Lander has an extensive portfolio of work that encompasses various design disciplines from jewellery to domestic objects, furniture and lighting. Her combination of experience has seen her travel to the UK partaking in an international craft residency program in 2007 (Here and There www.hat.mmu.ac.uk), and Europe to work with Gijs Bakker, director of Droog Design in 2000. In 1995 Bridie won the Young Designer of The Year Award hosted by The Sydney Morning Herald for a lighting design developed with the co-operative Princess Produce. As a practising professional, Lander currently lectures at Sydney College of The Arts, University of Sydney.
