Fran Allison

Last week on the 6^th October we had a lecture, her name is Fran Allison and contemporary New Zealand jeweler. Her practice involves a lot of collaborate, she also specialize jewelry. Fran is interested in collecting pre-existing objects, that relates to her work. Some objects that she finds comes with an already established history and once Fran finds these objects she then likes to mess with the history/ reading in some way, and that it challenges her to reconstruct the figure found fragments that she obtain. Her most recent jeweler addresses ideas of re-formatting past and history. In her collaborate history, she work with many artists; she is also in a group called Weed (a group of New Zealand artist involves in objects and jeweler), collaborate is a group of artist with many different unique ideas, it is important if you are going to work with partners because you must participate and co-operate as one. Fran describe how collaborate works, she is interested in making work and progress and listening to other peoples ideas and giving tips to how they could develop that idea. I like how Fran uses collaborate because I can understand the aspect of it and how she is influence from many areas including other artist that associated with her. I found this inspiring myself because having an team is good, because they help you improve skills, they also develop your ideas and push it even further, I really do like Fran’s artwork because working with a group of artist, working together as one team is a BIG influence, because you can also look up to one another and be by each other sides.
