Snake Charmer Brooches

Remade-Reloved, curated by Bridget Kennedy, Australian Design Centre, 10 October - 19 November 2025

These works extend my practice of using reclaimed and found materials, guided by a commitment to reuse, sustainability, and the reinvestment of value in what might otherwise be overlooked. Each brooch pin incorporates found or gifted elements that carry a sense of history — connections to people, places, and moments in time. Like a charm bracelet, they each offer a small collection of stories. The recurring motif of the snake symbolises protection, healing, renewal, and transformation, infusing each piece with talismanic power.
