​The Queensland Resources Council (QRC) and Women in Mining and Resources Queensland (WIMARQ) 2023 Awards
Picture
These copper and silver vessels are made with products of the Australian resources industry and are intended to celebrate the talents and drive of women in the resources industry.  Copper and silver are deceptively malleable materials, but they are strong and will endure for millennia.
When considering the form, I chose an interpretation of the crucible form, it being an integral part of the metal refining process. Each vessel began as the same size and shape, and with reference to the Australian resources landscape.
I have used mark making (punches and hammers) to include representations of deep seam mining, open cast mining and coal seam gas extraction as well as references to technical processes, problem solving and attention to detail.
Within the group, the silver-plated interior of each copper vessel contrasts with the dark exterior, and reflects the textures of the making process.
