Collection: Rebecca Fargher

I live in Wellington, New Zealand and studied History and Art History at Victoria University (Wellington) and completed at BA before continuing my education studying jewellery at Whitireia Polytechnic. 

I work in silver, crafting beautiful and detailed figurative wearable objects. I'm interested in referencing materials which tell stories and in working with textures and patterns.  Many of my pieces are inspired by nature, the beautiful gardens and bush around my home, simple or complex clusters of blooms and foliage. 

Nostalgic works feature children's games and material history; playful and whimsical pieces reflecting simple things treasured for their memories and moments.  These works are often lockets with other narratives enclosed or concealed. 

I'm interested in nature in the man-made environment - in objects decorated with nature inspired patterns, and in plants and animals in the built environment.
