Hello!

Inari here from Melbourne, Australia. Just a short introduction – here are some images of etching a vessel to be enamelled, and a few brooches. The main material focus of my work has been liquid enamel on steel (be it plate, safety pins or wire), inspired by Elizabeth Turrell’s workshop in Perth in April 2010, and supported by Dr Kirsten Haydon here at “home”, both legends and fellow Heat Exchangers.

The works above are all from late 2010 as I’ve had a year off making, doing written research only, but I’m currently returning to the glow of the kiln with open arms, and keen to delve into mad experiments with enamel again over the coming months.

At the end, I’ve included a little snapshot of pieces under construction on my bench at RMIT University where I’m currently undertaking Honours in Gold & Silversmithing.

Really looking forward to developing ideas and pieces for Heat Exchange, as well as interacting with everyone.

Cheers,
Inari Kiuru
