AURELIA YEOMANS
Cluster Contemporary Jewellery Exhibitor | 2021 & 2024
Through a conceptual and considered design language,
her pieces celebrate the cycles and processes of our planet
and the unique characteristics of natural materials that have taken millions of years to form; together with her distinctive and experimental approach to enamelling steel that has become a unique signature of her work.
Aurelia Yeomans is an Australian jewellery artist and designer, currently living and working in Melbourne. Each of her works unveils a story of the earth, inspired by intricate micro geometries, raw geologic forms and the phenomena that exists all around us
in the natural world. Her work is an evocative and humbling reminder of the power
and fragility of a world that has existed for many millions of years, and the fragile ecosystems that are affected by even the tiniest of environmental changes.
