Phoebe Porter
Jewellery and Object | Metal
Phoebe Porter is an Australian contemporary jeweller who combines geometric abstraction, bold colour and balancing of juxtaposed elements to create work that resonates with influences of the Bauhaus and Russian Constructivism. Trained in gold and silver smithing, Phoebe skillfully combines industrial materials and processes with precious elements using refined hand-making skills and a design language gained over twenty-five years of practice.
After almost a decade honing her craft in Melbourne, Phoebe moved back to her hometown of Canberra and now works from a beautiful heritage studio at Gorman Arts Centre. Here she produces her distinctive jewellery collections using traditional and innovative materials of the highest quality.
Phoebe's work is highly collectable and is represented in numerous public collections including the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia and the Powerhouse Museum. As well as regular exhibitions across Australia, Phoebe has been invited to exhibit in London, Japan, Germany and Washington. Her awards include a Victorian Premier’s Design Mark and being named DESIGN Canberra Festival Designer-in-Residence, as well as grants from the Australia Council, Arts Victoria, and Arts ACT.
