Manon van Kouswijk
Manon van Kouswijk is a Dutch artist who lives and works in Australia since 2010 and is currently based in Naarm / Melbourne and Toora, South Gippsland.
After formal training as a goldsmith, Manon studied jewellery in art school and graduated in 1995 from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam, where she later worked as Head of the Jewellery Department from 2007-2010.
Manon’s work is exhibited in galleries and museums and is part of public and private collections worldwide.
The word ‘findings’ has multiple meanings. It is commonly used to describe the outcome of research, investigation or a discovery however it also refers to the small tools and various materials used by an artisan: a jeweler’s findings. This duality is very accurate in describing Manon’s position as an artist within the field of contemporary jewellery. She views her practice as an ongoing exploration of the potential for jewellery to happen. Her findings are mediated through the making of objects, through photography, drawing, artist books and exhibition making.
Rather than having a recognisable visual language, Manon’s works are connected through a consistent interest in archetypal objects and in the public and private contexts in which these objects perform, are used, worn, displayed and / or preserved.
