JamFactory ICON 2024: Julie Blyfield Book Bundle  

JULIE BLYFIELD: 

Julie Blyfield is a South Australian artist renowned for her work inspired by collected botanical specimens and forms. Using the traditional metalsmithing techniques of chasing and repoussé, Blyfield creates intricately textured pieces, which capture the essence of the Australian natural landscape. Blyfield initially studied teaching before going on to study Jewellery making and silversmithing at the South Australian College of the Arts and Education. She has since established a highly respected career, spanning over 20 years, which has encompassed teaching and mentoring alongside her artistic practice. Blyfield exhibits her work internationally and has pieces in the permanent collections of the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

JULIE BLYFIELD: CHASING A PASSION

JamFactory ICON Julie Blyfield: Chasing a Passion is inspired by Blyfield’s experiences of the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest in far-north Queensland. In developing work for this exhibition, Blyfield has drawn on the marine collections of the South Australian Museum as well as resources she collected during her visit. Serving as a poetic metaphor for life and loss in a time of increasing environmental peril due to climate change, Blyfield’s masterful renderings immortalise the natural beauty of vulnerable species of delicate corals and threatened ancient forests.
