Reflections on Water

The mechanics of pressure have been used in the creation of these works as a commentary on the often-disastrous effects of coal seam gas mining for the natural environment.

Reflections on Water (As Below, So Above) is a collection of objects and contemporary jewellery incorporating traditional jewellery-making approaches alongside the newer technology of hydraulic pressing. The collection of works is inspired by an exploration of environmental issues surrounding the extensive development of coal seam gas mining in Australia and its impact on water resources and communities. The mechanics of pressure have been used in the creation of these works as a commentary on the often-disastrous effects of fracking for the natural environment.
