Annabet started creating contemporary jewellery using techniques she finessed when she made small functional utensils for eating and drinking to shape, texture and perforate her jewellery. Her production work is geometric and incorporates textured shaped silver, enamel, colour, and painted plywood, interacting and layering. In 2003 a residency at Griffith University, Queensland introduced her to Enameller Catherine Large and added Vitreous enamel as texture to her practice.

In Residence at Bundanon

The residency offers us an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the natural environment and to focus on our separate artistic practices, as well as using the time to consider the potential for joint future projects.

We intend to use the time to develop ideas through drawing, reflective and reflexive actions, making through thinking about, and experiencing, both materials and the environment.

We will continue to exchange, develop and interrogate new ideas and approaches, and enrich our existing art practices with the luxury of time and space to research and create new work in a collaborative setting.
