Tara Brady is a Wellington based jeweller and artist. Her work is intuitively made as an outlet to assimilate and process life. Brady is interested in human vulnerability, and the beauty found in the imperfections in human relationships.
Brady’s work is filtered through a rich imagination and draws on memory and nostalgia, by the quirky use and re-use of materials and images from the past the jewellery is contemporary and free from any sense of saccharine sentimentality. The work comes with an intensely personal vision and comments on how we value the darker sides of human nature with an undertone of black humour.
