ARTIST PROFILE
Alicia Hannah Naomi is a contemporary jeweller from Melbourne, Australia.
Profoundly influenced by the natural world, Alicia’s work reflects a commitment to sustainability and the principles of slow fashion, emphasising the value of handcrafted, meaningful adornments that stand as contemporary heirlooms.
Alicia values the intimate connection between creator, object, and wearer, seeking to imbue each piece with a narrative that resonates on a personal level. Her dedication to creating jewellery that challenges conventional aesthetics and celebrates the unique story behind each piece reveals she is not just an artist, but a storyteller at heart, deeply connected to the materials and stories she weaves into her creations.
Alicia completed the Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Jewellery) at the Box Hill Institute of Technology in 2013, where she received the Most Outstanding Student Prize, and furthered her professional development with a Jewellery Gem Setting course at Melbourne Polytechnic in 2019.
“I am moved by the subtle, the monumental, the imperfect and the austere; taking inspiration from the ingenuity of natural objects and processes.
My work is a celebration of the transience of all things in nature, and through my practice I pay homage to the aesthetic elegance in objects that carry the burden of their years with dignity and grace.
I believe that the practice of slowness and sustainability are the ultimate expressions of luxury. I hand craft individually, endeavouring to create contemporary heirlooms – precious and corporeal adornments of intimacy.
