Jan Donaldson
Fragments of That Day
925 Silver, pewter, steel, 23ct gold leaf,
felt, found object
Jan Donaldson is a highly respected artist jeweller/maker and long-time teacher, who studied at RMIT University in Melbourne and holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Fine Art, Master of Art (Fine Art) Degree, and a Diploma of Fine Art in Gold and Silversmithing.
Her work ranges in scale from jewellery to large sculptural works and she is known for her use of the figure and text, as well as for research into the relationships between objects and identity. Jan’s recent work explores the relationships between artifacts and identity, provoking us to think more deeply about the doll as a cultural artifact. She has investigated the doll as not just a plaything, but as an object intimately linked to identity. Imbued with human attributes, the doll is revealed as a source of identity and social conditioning; considering image, form, symbol and meaning.

Nylon, dye
This 3D printed brooch celebrates the building blocks of the urban environment and bluestone pavements of Melbourne’s streets.

Her work is held in a number of public and private collections including the NGV, Musee Des Arts Decoritifs, Swiss National Museum, and the Art Gallery of South Australia. Her research examines the relationship between the human and the technologies of cities and how interactions between humans and the city inject an organic quality to the rigid logic of the built environment. Her jewellery,captures this interaction in pieces that are both a product of technology and human engagement.
