By Example – Museum of Arts and Crafts – Itami Japan
13 – 28 March 2010
Phoebe has been included in By Example – an exhibition of Australian contemporary jewellery, held at the Museum of Arts and Crafts, Itami, Japan.
“The exhibition highlights the relationship between mentor and the mentored in the process of learning starting with fourteen prominent contemporary Australian jewellers who have been of influence through their practice and as educators and/or mentors. That is to say, that as contributors to the field of contemporary jewellery, through a commitment to the discourse of jewellery and on-going education, they are leading by example.
These jewellers, in turn, have been asked to nominate two ʻyoungerʼ artists who show the potential to also make a significant contribution to the field in the years to come. These people have been chosen for their individuality and the quality and integrity in their work. By Example is accompanied by a full colour bilingual catalogue of the same title, which will stand as an enduring document encapsulating the theme and presenting an aspect of Australian jewellery at this moment.”

The Stripe Series Light is an ambient light source with an interactive element. A light-hearted approach to objects is expressed by incorporating moving parts for play value. The resulting interaction highlights the tactile qualities of the object, making the experience of using it a more intimate one. It consists of a polypropylene cylinder and a hollow form that encases a halogen globe to create a focused stripe of light. The entire assembly is able to rotate continuously within the cylinder, manipulating the relationship between the light and it’s casing.
Dicelight uses lustrous materials and a small scale to produce an object that inspires a sense of wonder. I sought to blur the boundaries between the Design Object (functional) and the Art Object (conceptual), exploring ‘The light’ as an archetype of 20th century design and the light switch as a mechanism to be exploited. By transforming the switch from an incidental, to a primary element, my aim was to shift the intention of the object from utility to engaging the concept of play.
By referencing games and toys, the objects themselves encourage interaction and visually communicate their possible function. The die can be placed on various surfaces, some making the light source switch on and some making it switch off.
