Dare Diabola

My name is Jess Dare, based in Adelaide, Australia and partner of internationally renowned jewellery workshop, Gray Street Workshop. I am a Jewellery designer, maker, wearer and appreciator. I love to travel, look, learn, eat, drink and laugh hysterically.

Hopefully through this blog you can see my insiprations, how I see the world around me and understand the work I create. But at the very least I hope you find something to giggle about and get inspired by.

Please check out my website jessdare.com for upcoming exhibitions and current works.

Dilston Grove by Ackroyd & Harvey

Dilston Grove (formerly known as Clare College Mission Church) located on the edge of Southwark Park in Bermondsey, London was transformed into a green chamber of living grass in collaboration with sound artist and composer Graeme Miller, Ackroyd & Harvey. This church was originally designed in early Italian style with an austere exterior which gave way to the dramatic difference created by the liveliness of the fabrics of growing grass. The clay, germinating grass seeds, water and natural light presented the sharp contrast between growth and decay, reverie and renewal. Through the interplay of light, sound and growth, this project brought resurrection to this old, inert and nonfunctional building, bringing back spiritual memories for local residence over a three week period.

Robotics researchers unveiled an electronic housefly on Thursday, one that can hover in air, flapping its wings to steer in a first demonstration of controlled artificial-insect flight.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, SCIENCE? 

Cool but why?
