Celia Dottore — 'Meld Lunar' Earrings in Silver

Recycled sterling silver earrings with sterling silver chain. Sterling silver offcuts have been melted down and cast to remake useable silver sheet. The textured surface is a process called reticulation, with silver oxide applied, to emulate the surface of the moon.

Celia Dottore is a jeweller based in Naarm/Melbourne. Working primarily with sterling silver, along with found and collected materials, Celia's practice is largely process driven, allowing the materials to take new form through hand forming and carving techniques. Celia's work explores concepts of memory, ritual, superstition and sentimentality and is often inspired by nature, religious art and philosophy. Through her practice she examines the deeper meanings we attach to body adornment and sacred objects within our daily lives.

Dottore is a Studio Artist at Parslow Street Studio and has exhibited in 'Divine mantras for earthly matters' at FELTspace in Adelaide.
