Katherine Hubble

Katherine Hubble is an Australian artist who in 2022 completed her MFA by research at RMIT Melbourne where she also completed her BA (Honours) in 2017. Her graduate pieces were selected for the 2017 and 2022 Marzee International Graduate Show in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. In 2022 Hubble won the National Contemporary Jewellery Award at Griffith regional gallery New South Wales. Katherine Hubble’s work explores the notion of what pearl jewellery could be in the twenty-first century. It uses the changing role of jewellery to think through the representation of pearls and their shells. Within her practice a combination of traditional jewellery methods and contemporary industry processes are employed. It is the link between these two ways of making that brings the final jewellery outcomes into a contemporary setting.
