| KATH INGLIS is a contemporary jeweller based in Adelaide, South Australia. Since completing a Bachelor of Applied Arts (jewellery & metal) at the South Australian School of Art – UniSA, she has worked in a number of studios including Gray Street Workshop, and as a design associate in the JamFactory Metal Design Studio, Adelaide. In 2005, Kath established Soda and Rhyme Jewellery Design Studio in partnership with contemporary jeweller, Naomi Schwartz. The studio is a combination of workshop and retail/gallery space, to make, promote and sell South Australian contemporary jewellery and small scale objects. "In 2001 I discovered PVC on a roll at my local supermarket. At a particular time in the afternoon, sunlight reflected from the surface of the plastic in a remarkable way to provoke my interest in exploring the potential for a jewellery material. Through experimentation, I discovered that this play of light could be captured and manipulated when designs are hand carved into the surface. I have developed a strong fascination for the process of carving and the material qualities of PVC. There is a constant revealing with the process of carving and a variety of shapes, patterns and colours applied to PVC evoke allusions and ambiguous references. The jewellery I make is inspired by the world around me - thoughts and ideas are then carved into patterns". |
