Hi, My name is Amelia Marks, and I'm a contemporary jeweller from Melbourne, Australia. Winner of the Design Institute of Australia Australasian Graduate of the Year Award 2017 (jewellery and objects) I have exhibited locally and overseas, and currently sell my work in galleries and art museums in Australia.
Inspired by botanical illustrations and the beauty of the world around us, I like to bring imagery directly into my work by using printed aluminium. Most of the images I use are photographed in my local neighbourhood or friends gardens. I then edit and manipulate the images before transferring them onto aluminium/aluminum. Aluminium is wonderfully light, and has a soft reflective shine, which makes my pieces easy and light to wear. I combine this with an element of movement in most of my pieces to create a play of light.
I utilise aluminium with gold and silver, so my pieces are safest for the most sensitive skin - and all finished to a professional standard.
