San Francisco’s Velvet da Vinci is proud to present Jane Dodd: Rococo Revolution. The show will run from January 21 through February 28, 2015. An opening reception with the artist will take place on Friday, Friday January 23, 6-8 pm.
Inspired by a recent tour of European museums, palaces, and treasure houses, Rococo Revolution illustrates Dodd’s simultaneous experience of seduction and repulsion to the sumptuous and decadent housing of these elite collections. Referencing a contemporary interpretation of the late Baroque aesthetic, the artist’s meticulously carved bone and wood pieces take the form of wearable objects, each representing symbolic elements drawn from the natural world.
Prior to studying 3D Design/Jewelry at the Unitec Institute of Technology in Auckland, Dodd earned a BA in the Phenomenology of Religion with additional papers in Anthropology, Art History, Maori Language and Philosophy from the University of Otago. Her jewelry has appeared in publications such as the book 21st Century Jewellery: the best of the 500 series and can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, The Dowse Art Museum (NZ), and Hawkes Bay Museum (NZ). With a background in both music and the arts, Dodd is also known on an international level for her role as a bass player in influential punk bands such as The Chills and The Verlaines. She presently lives and works in the city of Dunedin, New Zealand.
