Yes, HELLO!
Nearly two years have passed since my previous Season's Greetings post, in 2012. Time has flown, and there have been big changes in my life. The greatest of them all was welcoming our daughter into the world in June 2013. She is a beautiful (and very strong-willed, independent) mystery, and the past 15 months have been an intensive, wonderful road into the unknown, together as a family. Now we can all finally walk, so it's getting a bit easier.
I also finished my degree, Honours in Object Based Design, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia, in June 2013. In fact, I put the very final touches on the final pieces for assessment just six hours before my baby was born. Now that is a busy week, don't you think!
Now it's time to get back into making and creative communication. Spring is here, the world is turning as it should be, and life is an open book. I shall start posting regularly again, starting with pictures of work from the recent past, to bring the online record up to date.
I'll also be present in Instagram as ordinari_observer.
A big thank you for those who've been reading my blog regularly and who might find their way here again, or for the first time. It would be great if you could join me on this next part of the journey.
Here we go!

To link the last post of 2012 and this first of 2014, here are some of the final images that grew from the industrial moth sketches (post below) into the Saturnalia Industrialis-series of brooches, models and giclee prints during 2012 and 2013.

Season's Greetings 2012
Dear Reader,
Thank you for the year past, and wishing you a relaxed and joyful festive season.
Looking forward to new adventures in 2013, so many exciting things lie ahead.
These moths, my initial visual sketches for this year's jewellery project, are a glimpse of my recent work contemplating the rapid evolution of sensitive species around us, through images and objects. Two cases intrigued me into further research: The Peppered Moth (Biston Betularia) darkened quickly in response to the coal darkened surfaces of the Industrial Revolution and then lightened back again when the fallout became better controlled; in Fukushima, generations of butterflies
already show strange mutations.
What will happen in the future, near and distant...?
More soon – in words and pictures.
Take care and chat soon!
