119 MODULE 1: TERM 1 – Design in a business context
Historical background She is an award-winning graduate from the College of Fine Arts in Sydney where, aſter dabbling in ceramics and textiles, she decided upon majoring in jewellery design. She now spends most of her time in one of the strangest places she has ever been, Japan, where she is surrounded by constant stimu- lation that varies from the sublime mountainous vistas to the retina-burning neon streetscapes.
Influences Her memories date back to a childhood spent on a farm, where she would make books out of cereal boxes and bind the pages together with tree sap. It would seem that her love for recycling materials started early! Her work is also greatly influenced by the Japanese designer, Kyoko Hashimoto, who works in a similar style, exploring materials such as polypropylene and perspex, for whom Ebony has great admiration. She is currently studying the Japanese art of ikebana whilst continuing creating her lovely jewellery pieces.
Characteristics In Japan her fans describe her work as ‘kawaii’ which translates to ‘cute’. Her work caters for a much younger market, using fashionable materials such as perspex and plastic combined with precious metals to form simplistic but striking objects of desire.
Description of works/products Her
‘tyre-necklace’, that you can see in front of
you, she made for the Jewellery Journey exhibition, using tyres that reveal they have been used, since the thread runs bare. She also creates much smaller works, such as her series of brooches, Bebe Cream (large bird brooch), combining a delicate silver bird with delicate curly detail contrasted against a cir- cular white perspex disc. Her ‘Lil Friend Red’ and ‘Lil Friend Green’ are similar in design, but have coloured backgrounds with a centred flying bird al- most flying off its background. You have a sense of the artist having a wandering creative spirit, never remaining in the same place for too long, always fly- ing off to the next destination of learning: a whole new adventure...
