| FRANCES STACHL is based in Paekakariki, New Zealand. "I like the fact that my own jewellery practice is not too different from what a jeweller's was hundreds of years ago. The tools are essentially the same, as is the process. The tools suggest certain end results and each jeweller follows these to their own personal conclusion. There is a long history to reference, maybe no idea is ever really brand new, but reinterpretations of an idea are constantly visible in New Zealand's jewellery practice. I like the craft aspect of jewellery, things need to be made well and need to be wearable. My necklaces tend to be quite obsessive, often made up of hundreds and sometimes even thousands of units". |
