Wild Domain: The Natural History of Jane Dodd Jewellery
This publication was created to celebrate the exhibition Wild Domain: The Natural History of Jane Dodd at The Dowse Art Museum in 2021. The exhibition delved into contemporary jeweller Jane Dodd’s examination of humankind’s impact on the natural world and represents the first major survey of her expanding family of works.
Wild Domain features beautifully articulated responses to Dodd’s practice from contributors Karl Chitham, Dr Chelsea Nichols, Dr Bronwyn Lloyd and Justine Olsen, as well as images from Haru Sameshima, long-time photographer of Dodd’s jewellery.
Published by The Dowse Art Museum through the generous support of Creative New Zealand.
“In the past few years my jewellery practice has largely pivoted around the portrayal of animals, often with a subtext of how humans are impacting on them. I have created characters and stories illustrating the tension I felt between the exuberant genius of historic European craftspeople and the plunder of the natural world that enabled and sanctioned their art. I want to look at issues of extinction and infestation, cruelty and conflict: issues that arise at every branch of our Family Tree, affecting coral, ants, magpies, elephants. I want to challenge our ideas of animal intelligence, and exalt different sensory strengths and acumen. I want to berate us for thinking we are above or distinct from the natural world. I want us to feel that we are being watched and that stock is being taken. I want us not to get away with it.” – Jane Dodd
