Christine Collins – 'The Geometry of Mining I', Silver Chain Necklace

Christine Collins is a contemporary jeweller based in Tarntanya/ Adelaide. She recently completed a two year associateship in Jewellery and Metal at JamFactory, South Australia.

Christine develops works in jewellery which incorporate precious, industrial and found materials. With a focus on research, experimentation and materiality, she explores relationships between the attribution of meaning and material form. Often proceeding from a collection of material elements, she develops works by exploring various combinations and compositions of forms to create opportunities for their re-evaluation. Christine draws on her practice as a visual artist, having completed Masters of Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art. She has recently exhibited in the Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize, JamFactory CollectSpace, Broken Hill City Gallery and Contemporary Wearables.
