Bio

Sian Edwards completed an Advanced Diploma of Jewellery and Object Design, Enmore TAFE in 2005 and a Bachelor of Fine Art with Honours in Jewellery and Metals at Monash University in 2009.

Taking inspiration from a multitude of sources, Sian’s work is defined by an interest in detail, repetition, pattern and light, in the form of colour, shimmer and shine. With a focus on animals, Sian’s work references both the rich historical use of animals in adornment and the actual animals that share our world. Her work is playful, illustrative, and at times delves deeper, undertaking anatomical material studies of her chosen subjects. Her approach to materials considers their relationship to the body through tactile qualities such as movement, by employing connective mechanisms, and texture.
