Shape Change Jewellery
2008 - 9

Shape change jewellery is a range of wearable artefacts that change shape in response to human warmth. The pieces are developed from nano-engineered NitiNol and cast silver and suggest how our cherished possessions may interact with us through wearing. The three projects - Venus, Poppy and Field - have been exhibited in a series of exhibitions in Melbourne (Levitas 2009), Bathurst (Showing Off 2009), and Sydney (genart_sys 2011).
