Katie Stormonth is a contemporary jeweller based in Brisbane, Australia and is one of the founding members of Bench (a collective jewellery studio). She completed a Bachelor of Fine Art with Honours in 2011 and currently works as the technical officer at Queensland College of Art, Griffith University. As an early career artist she participates regularly in exhibitions locally, nationally and internationally. Her practice aims to expand the boundaries of wearable body adornment through experimentation of materials and forms. She constructs alluring arrangements of repetitious forms and painted surfaces, highlighting the patterns of bold and decorative chased line work, aiming to provoke the wearer to both see and feel the pieces.

ABOUT BENCH

www.benchstudiobrisbane.weebly.com | www.instagram.com/benchstudio | www.facebook.com/benchstudio
Bench is a contemporary jewellery studio space located at an industrial site in Brisbane’s southside. It was established in 2012 by four emerging artists; Andy Lowrie, Clare Poppi, Katie Stormonth and Shanna Muston. Bench was created in response to the need for creative spaces in Brisbane, with the studio facilitating the sharing of ideas, creation of new work and critical discussion of art and design. The result is a small community of makers dedicated to promoting jewellery as an artform in Brisbane. These artists explore and manipulate the crossover between visual art, craft, fashion and design, seeking to extract the best principles from each area and incorporate them into their own practice.
