| VICTORIA McINTOSH was born in Dunedin in 1971. She graduated from the Otago Polytechnic School of Art in 1991 and again in 2005, this time majoring in Jewellery and Metalsmithing. Between times she has worked as a bookbinder, barmaid and picture framer, in a variety of cities around the world. "A collector and hoarder by nature, I have always been drawn to objects that carry a sense of history. Dunedin’s second hand shops provide rich hunting grounds for overlooked treasure and these finds form the basis for much of my work. Tucked away in my studio I bring together the skills I was taught as a child around the kitchen table with those later learnt at the jeweller’s bench. I also have a particular fondness for spoons." |
