Contemporary jewellery artists Fran Carter and Caroline Thomas will be setting up headquarters in the Project 100 gallery space with their evolving project Moments of Jewelleryness. Visit them during their residency as they explore their ideas around ‘jewelleryness’ and research new ‘moments’ to be found around Whakatū.

Fran & Caroline met whilst studying contemporary jewellery at Whitireia NZ, and since 2017 have been engaged in this collaboration together that has seen them exhibit nationally and abroad. The pair share a collective understanding of ‘jewelleryness’ whilst exhibiting a distinctly individual approach to their making, transforming inspirational moments into objects.

“Our evolving project explores the mysteries of the creative process, celebrating the idea that inspiration often lurks in the most unlikely places.”
