Jane Dodd is a contemporary jeweller based in Dunedin. Dodd has a BA from Otago University and a Diploma in 3D design from UNITEC in Auckland.  Since the early ‘90s she has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions in New Zealand and internationally.

Her jewellery is largely a carving-based practice utilizing re-purposed woods and bone. Narratives from the environment and animal world, homages to historic crafts, critiques of modern society, mysterious plotlines, comedy and tragedy can all be found in her jewellery.

In this illustrated talk Jane Dodd will discuss her work depicting animals and other lifeforms, in particular her series of exhibitions The Family.
