Nina Oikawa

I recently visited Melbourne gallery "Pieces Of Eight" they have a new gallery in Russel place. One artist exhibiting her work was Melbourne Gold and Silver Smith Nina Oikawa. Her pieces ignited my childhood imagination and took me back to a place where minilism nver counted and bright jewls and animals ruled the domain of my dress up treasure chest. 


My favourite piece is the"Fossil Wheel" which is just a glorious piece crafted with dexterity and severe attention to detail. I think it's a ring but maybe it is just a "Fossil Wheel"... such a brilliant imagination!  


And who could go past this monstrous piece of grandeur... 


I did spend a good twenty minutes just gawking at Nina Oikawa's work. I assure you there are other artists at Pieces of Eight. Check out the website or visit 28 Russel Place Melbourne.
