Warwick Freeman

Freeman uses materials such as Paua shell, Mother of Pearl, Baler shell and Scallop shells. His pieces don’t necessarily relate to the ocean in their concept, even though they are made up of oceanic materials. He uses the connotations that the materials have to aid his narrative jewellery. Each of his pieces tells a different story. The connotations of selected materials relate to the story behind the piece, such as his choice of shiny pearl shell for the shape of the star, this way his piece actually shines.
