Jewellery and Me- Blog 3

Jewellery with a Symbol


Artist: Gina Machitt
Title: Paua Smash Nike
Date: 2001
Size: 98(Height)x39(Length)x8(Width)
Materials: Paua Shell, Silver, Fine Silver, Stainless Steel, Resin.



I found this piece very intriguing because you can tell it's the Nike Symbol but what really took my interest was how Machitt used Paua Shells inside the tick. I also liked how Nike is a American brand but Machitt added the Paua which kinda gives a New Zealand edge to the design.
