JamFactory ICON Julie Blyfield: Chasing a Passion

Predominantly working in silver and copper, artist Julie Blyfield interprets botanical motifs using the traditional metalsmithing techniques of chasing and repoussé to create intricately patterned jewellery and objects.

JamFactory ICON Julie Blyfield: Chasing a Passion is inspired by Blyfield’s experiences of the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest in Far North Queensland. Serving as a poetic metaphor for life and loss in a time of increasing environmental peril due to climate change, Blyfield’s masterful renderings immortalise the natural beauty of vulnerable species of delicate corals and threatened ancient forests.
