Michelle, Gauntlett

Artist Statement

West Australian Silversmith Michelle Gauntlett creates uniquely crafted, organically shaped and patterned metal jewellery, spoons, cups and sculptural forms. She works mostly in fine silver, sterling silver and re-purposed copper, hand raising and forming the metal into the desired shapes. She treats the surface with a variety of textural marks, rolled patterns & patinas. Michelle's inspiration is drawn from her environment, the patterns in nature, the diversity of people, their ideas, and the notion of a shared visual language that creates a connection.
