An Exhibition by jeweller Djurdjica Kesic
September 15 - October 10, 2009
In the ‘Nomad’ jewellery series Djurdjica Kesic delves into her ongoing interest in ideas about home, place and transportability of home in migration. Kesic uses a symbol of a house as something that is evocative of place, of rootedness, but explo...ring it in relation to a migrant experience, that is in many ways shaped by shifting and movement. The two (house+migration) seem to exist in a dichotomy, of something fixed and something in motion. ‘Nomad’ explores these ideas through a series of necklaces made from an armful of preloved belongings.
Djurdjica Kesic completed a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Interior Design at RMIT University Melbourne in 1999 and taught there for several years. A strong drive to create tangible objects has seen her develop this passion, and in 2007 she completed an Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology and Metal-smithing (Jewellery), Box Hill Institute. The same year saw her work selected and exhibited as part of the Filippo Raphael Fresh Award at Craft Victoria where she was a finalist.Read More
