Octavia Cook
Octavia Cook (born 1978) is a New Zealand jeweller. Education Cook graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor of Design in jewellery from Unitec Auckland where among other tutors she studied with Pauline Bern. Work Cook's work examines the concept of identity and the inherent values attributed to jewellery. She says 'My work references familiar historical jewellery motifs, like the bow, skull, and cameo silhouette, which balance the personal nature of my subject matter'. In 2002 Cook began working with the cameo form for which she has become known. She has several series of rings, brooches, earrings and necklaces that play with the ideas of cameos, mourning jewellery, and identity. For example, her 'Loved and Lost' brooches from 2006 take the form of updated mourning jewellery, but bear the faces of Cook family pet that have died, and have individual titles such as ''Lucky Cook', 1982-1991'' and ''Sooty Cook, 1986-1987''. Another work, ''OC v QEII'' (2006) is a reversible red and white br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
