Artist Bio:
Eva is a queer visionary artist and jeweller emerging from the urban hinterland of the Northern Beaches. Eva channels their background in visual arts into crafting distinctive jewellery, blending artistic flair with meticulous craftsmanship. Eva’s work is dynamic and infused with a playful and alternative twist, inspired by nature and the art world they love. Their creations captivate those who seek originality. By blending organic forms with chunky textures, each piece tells a unique story, balancing subtlety with boldness.

Artist Statement:
The Virus Series, handmade in sterling silver, explores themes of identity, restriction, and conformity. These impractical jewellery pieces reflect the pressure of past and present social beliefs, particularly within queer experience. Hints of colour break through the forms, symbolising queer identity shining through the cracks of a restrictive world.
