Jessica Jubb is an Australian born Contemporary Jeweller. Her experience encompasses a variety of artistic mediums and she has a keen interest in art history and theory. Jubb is a visual arts honours graduate of Edith Cowan University, where she also studied Psychology.
Growing up in the hills east of Perth, Jubb was encouraged by creative parents to appreciate life among the delicate details of the natural world. Her love of the environment elevated her interest in science and art where she finds inspiration in the historically elastic ways by which the world is quantified and qualified.
Fascinated by the way new meaning can be created from the pairing of unexpected materials, Jubb's hand crafted wearables are a composite of selected and collected fabrics, existing objects, hand-worked metal and creative stitches.
When not traveling and searching for treasure, Jubb can be found teetering atop paradoxical fences -art and craft, old and new, form and function, 2D and 3D, masculine and feminine, religion and science - as she explores conceptual boundaries that inspire her contemporary jewellery.
