Maggie Steel

Accessories – Brisbane

My name is Maggie Steel and I design and make jewellery. I also curate art exhibitions at Bird Gallery and Studio. I completed a Fine Art degree in Visual art, minoring in Fashion in 2011. Since then my practice has always consisted of blurring the lines between art and fashion which I believe have a symbiotic relationship. My jewellery is currently a work in progress that has been developing naturally over the past year. Having little skill in fine jewellery/silver/goldsmithing, my jewellery is the result of crafty experiments. My materials consist of crystals, silk, satin, wire and sometimes feathers. Most of my jewellery is black, white and silver that encompasses organic lines and curves which is reminiscent of my drawing style. My goal is to continue making jewellery and developing my label, whilst incorporating my visual art practices. Although my jewellery is currently practical in a sense, I\'d like to venture into costume jewellery and become more adventurous with my materials.
