What’s on @ Lopdell
January 7 2013 - February 9 2013
The materiality of everyday objects in our daily environment is the main interest and focus in many of Serene Thain’s

much a part of our lives that we hardly notice them.
Exhibition runs 16 January – February 2013
Michelle takes inspiration from elements in nature that are usually too small to be detected by the naked eye or are
skimmed over and taken for granted. "I magnify them to create jewellery that contains forms that are at once familiar
and unknown, derived from nature, creative explorations of scientific ideas". - Michelle Wilkinson
