Jane Dodd. Anna Wallis. Octavia Cook. Areta Wilkinson.

09 Jul – 15 Aug 2026

Jane Dodd is a contemporary jeweller based in Dunedin, New Zealand.  She holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts from University of Otago (1984) and a Diploma of Jewellery Design from Unitec, Auckland (1994). From 1995 to 2009 she was a member of Workshop 6, the renowned shared jewellery studio in Kingsland, Auckland. Dodd exhibits internationally and her work is held in many private and public collections.

Dodd embraces the technical virtuosity of traditional European craftwork, and her loosely narrative-based work has in recent years pivoted around the portrayal of animals. Working with the subtext of human impact and interspecies interaction, Dodd has explored issues of extinction and infestation, cruelty and conflict. In her most recent works, Dodd asserts the place of the human species within the animal world; in the taxonomic Order of Primates. Thus, in Dodd’s work, character and narrative are afforded to humans, pre-human hominids and other fellow simians alike.

Anna Wallis lives and works in Auckland.  She has been making jewellery since 1993, when she established Workshop 6 with Areta Wilkinson, Lisa Walker and Helen O’Connor.  She remains a partner in Workshop 6.  Anna trained at Otago Polytechic School of Art, Dunedin, in the early 1990s. Since then, she has exhibited regularly in solo and group exhibitions in New Zealand and Australia, and has taught regular night classes in jewellery.

Known for the minimalist geometry of her work, Anna makes a range of dynamic jewellery that combines different coloured metals. Departing from her interest in geography and geology, Anna’s jewellery plays with abstraction, employing repetitive shapes and patterns that capture the imagination.

 

Octavia Cook is jewellery lecturer at Dunedin School of Art. She studied jewellery under Pauline Bern at Unitec, Auckland, graduating in 1999, and was part of the jewellery cooperative, Workshop 6, in Kingsland. The early part of her career as a contemporary artist yielded an extensive body of work under the guise of a fictional lux jewellery brand, Cook & Co. By 2012 she had closed the firm and moved to Dunedin. She has continued to exhibit locally and internationally and has jewellery in private and institutional collections globally.

Areta Wilkinson (Kāi Tahu) is an acclaimed Aotearoa New Zealand artist based in Oxford, Canterbury, whose work shifts fluidly between adornment, sculpture and installation.  She was commissioned by Christchurch Art Gallery to create a site-specific work that could be displayed for the next five years.

The series of new sterling silver brooches relate to Te Mauri o te Puna, a dynamic sculpture commission installed 2025 for the forecourt of Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū.

Wilkinson took inspiration from Te Puna o Waiwhetū of which of the Christchurch Art Gallery is named, and her sculptures embody a nourishing puna, or spring. Both wall mounted and wearable curving shapes evoke bubbling water and an abundance of thriving insects, animals and plants.

“In te ao Māori, puna are sources of sustenance for the whenua and people. Symbolically, they are also sites of knowledge and wellbeing. Wai represents the spiritual and physical connection between the ātua celebrated in Kāi Tahu creation narratives and all life on earth. The Gallery is also a source, sustaining artistic knowledge and expressing cultural identity and ideas.”  In te ao Māori, mauri is the unique vital essence contained within every life form or entity. The dynamic linear form of Wilkinson’s recent work also pays homage to her own Toi Māori history – in relationship to the ancestral rock art of Te Waipounamu South Island.
