Phoebe’s work is strongly influenced by the Bauhaus and Constructivist movements, striving for order and balance and seeking to reduce each piece to its necessary elements, often using a mechanism as a starting point, which then becomes integral to the design.
Phoebe’s technical understanding and refined hand skills are the result of over twenty years of practice, research and development. Graduating from a Bachelor of Arts (Gold and Silversmithing) at ANU School of Art in 2001 – under the tutelage of German-born Silversmith, Johannes Kuhnen – she went on to undertake a mentorship with one of Australia’s leading contemporary jewellers, Blanche Tilden.
Phoebe’s work has since been acquired for a number of public collections, including the National Gallery of Australia and the Powerhouse Museum. She has exhibited work across Australia, including solo shows at Craft ACT, Craft Victoria and e.g.etal, Melbourne. She has also been included in group exhibitions in Japan, Germany, the UK and USA.
Phoebe has received a number of awards including a Canberra Critics’ Circle Award (2015) and a Victorian Premier’s Design Mark (2008) as well as grants from the Australia Council, Arts Victoria and Arts ACT. Still a young talent, Phoebe’s work, spanning over two decades, demonstrates a consistency and evolution of form that promises a long career, and a permanent place in Australia’s jewellery and design landscape.
