Artist Bio
Gerhard Herbst (Australia)’s work is interested in exploring the possibilities of translating contemporary sculptural forms into the jewellery medium. Jewellery by its very nature is encumbered with many technical limitations, including size, weight, functionally, to name a few. Sculpture, on the other hand, has few such requirements. His challenge is to create interesting and provocative forms that function well as a piece of jewellery, while still retaining the original sculptural qualities that inspire his work.
