Julie Blyfield has worked for over 35 years at her practice, currently from her own independent studio overlooking her garden environment in Maylands, South Australia. Julie’s jewellery and object work is inspired by research into botanical specimens, historical silver collections and the rich diversity of the Australian landscape, which she interprets using the technique of metal chasing, hammering and surface chiselling, predominately in sterling silver and more recently, copper.

Necklace “Combination III”, 2020. Sterling silver. Sawing.
It can be recognized that the creator's object is not a mere object of conventional meaning, but a meaningful object that originated from the appearance of one's own life and personal experience.
It tells the story of a condensed history of time and space, which makes it feel like another self, or self, in various forms.
memory
The illusion of memory appear in consistent or inconsistent forms.
Repeat rearranging and reassembling the memory pieces one by one, scattered through the exposed and abandoned traces.
The process of rediscovering the meaning and value of life in the objectified object that projected something is only possible through the method and reason of constant self-censorship.
