An exhibition by Djurdjica Kesic
April 29 - May 30 2008


"In the Transitions series the starting point is an old, reclaimed chair. Through observing its function, form and materiality and through a series of interventions, a number of jewellery pieces have emerged. Transience occurs on a number of levels: from one form to another, from one function to another, from one context to another. Additionally, yet another transition took place: the chair that once housed the body ended up being housed (worn) by the body itself."

Djurdjica Kesic was born in Yugoslavia and moved to Melbourne, Australia in 1991. She initially completed a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Interior Design at RMIT University Melbourne, and taught there for several years. A strong drive to create tangible objects has most recently seen her develop this passion, and in 2007 she completed an Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology and Metal-smithing (Jewellery), Box Hill Institute. The same year saw her work selected and exhibited as part of the Filippo Raphael Fresh Award at Craft Victoria where she was a finalist. Currently she is a Masters of Arts Candidate at RMIT University.
