CONNEXUS | CAROLINE THOMAS

OPEN:
9.30am - 5.30pm Tuesday - Saturday.

'Connexus' is an exhibition of contemporary jewellery by Caroline Thomas, currently in her third year at Whitireia New Zealand studying for a BAppA specialising in jewellery design.

"As a maker I battle daily with technical connections, how to attach objects to the human body in as an aesthetically pleasing and practical way as possible. As an artist I'm also trying to provide solutions for more intangible connections; how does an object or a piece of jewellery make you feel, what meaning/s do you attach to it, how do you (and others) attribute value?

On a personal level, I've come to this jewellery-making business quite late in life. I've discovered that creating my own work gives me more connections to the world at large. I don't believe in any gods and I don't believe that life has any universal meaning but I do believe that the process of making is helping me to make my own connections with a chaotic and random existence."
