ABOUT 

​

Somnium is an artist project by Tara Howe

​

In a time when meaning is often diluted by ‘mass’, the sentiment of jewellery has grown to be something deeply special to me. It has always been a medium of history. Holding legacy, wealth, milestones, migration, and culture. Jewellery is tangible memory. I enjoy the seriousness of creating something enduring and valuable, whilst simultaneously the lightness of curiosity and exploration. I grew up around farmland and the south coast, always muddy, always collecting, home is outside. A big part of my work is immortalising the earth's memory, delivered through its forms, and balancing them with my other loves of brutalist and mid century design.

​​Abhay Mankoti is an artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, whose passion for music and sound radiates through everything he creates.
