Kate graduates from Box Hill (Advanced Diploma in Engineering Technology, Jewellery) this Year. Jewellery Designer, Artist and a member of “The Body Corporate”; An experiment in co-operative enterprise.

The Body Corporate is a group of Practicing Jeweller’s who exhibit together.
Kate originally from London U.K. is now based just outside Melbourne.
Working in Melbourne's renowned jewellery Industry Since arriving in Australia.

Art School Life drawing has had a strong influence in the way she will see objects as some thing to be formed and redrawn. Nurturing obsession with line and form, just how much a form can be reduced to the minimum required to read it?

The first year at Box Hill caused a eureka moment for Kate when she was taught Design and idea development.
Although drawing comes naturally to her, how to research and evolve an idea, pushing beyond recognition of the original into something new, that was the revelation.
This new teaching has opened up endless possibilities research and knowledge have in informed Design. Learning to follow where the process is taking you without trying to lead it.

When working with metal Kate will constantly find herself either trying to draw on it or with it.
Metals and the finishes applied to their surface are a current point of fascination. Working a piece to a finished look, then stripping it back and layering new detail like a painting.
Building pieces mainly (but not exclusively) in metal, the sculptural lost wax process allows a freedom and immediacy which after observing traditional Jewellery practice were a revelation to Kate.

THIS JEWELLERY WANTS TO WEAR YOU.

Kate Marshall,
Beautiful and Dangerous Jewellery.

Kate completed Foundation in Art at Camberwell School of Arts, Followed by studies in Life drawing and Animation.

“My intention is to convey a pure love of texture and shape both created and natural.

But not always serious.

To breathe different life into the metal, heated, reformed and picking up the shadows. Rendering both movement and utter still.”

I have succeeded if I have created objects that desire to wear you.

I love to watch all the ways we have of expressing ourselves, verbally, through body language, interaction, personal space and through our choices in dressing the body.
Metals curling and enfolding extending about the body in tiny statements, Personal, Familiar and unfamiliar.

We choose Jewellery with ritual deliberation.
A series of short stories worn in sequence through life.

Wear these new stories as your own.”
