Hardcover. In the 1980s, Warwick Freeman (b. 1953) co-revolutionised the world of New Zealand jewellery, which led to the creation of a unique artistic language. Today, he is regarded as one of the worlds most influential contemporary jewelry artists. His works tell of his life as a Pakeha as the Maori call descendants with European roots of his culture, and history, as well as the history of Aotearoa New Zealand and the countrys unique materials: the millimetre-thick mother-of-pearl of the pearl oyster, the iridescent inner membrane of the paua (a rainbow abalone), and the pounamu (a type of greenstone). He works with found objects in which he recognises a 'sign from the past', a kind of archetype, something familiar, and discovers forms, symbols, and images that connect Maori, Polynesian, and European civilisations through emblematic meanings that transcend their cultures. As such, Freeman has long been a mediator between the cultures. Warwick Freeman, influential jewellery artist, merges New Zealand's history, unique materials, and Maori, Polynesian, and European symbols, creating culturally resonant designs that bridge traditions. Text in English and German. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Warwick Freeman (b. 1953) is regarded as one of the world’s most influential contemporary jewellery artists. His works tell of his life, culture, and history, as well as the history of Aotearoa New Zealand and the country’s unique materials from millimetre thick mother-of-pearl from the pearl shell to the iridescent inner membrane of the pāua (a rainbow abalone).
In the 1980s Freeman co-revolutionised the world of New Zealand jewellery, which led to the creation of a unique artistic language. Initially influenced by western jewellery traditions, and later impacted by a growing awareness of Māori and Pacific adornment practices, Freeman has built a language of emblematic forms across five decades. Through jewellery making he discovers symbols that connect us — from Hook to Hand to Heart to Star.
