Marina Breit
Inspiration for This Work
To design promotional merchandise that will contribute to Toby's Estates' vision to raise funds for the Alola Foundation in Timor-Leste. The Fairtrade logo consists of two simplistic shapes which were made into wearable brooch forms. When displayed in the shops, the Fairtrade logo was recognisable to customers, however, can be worn in numerous arrangements.
Student Biography
When were you born?
I was born in Sydney in 1983.
What is your background?
In 1985, my family moved to England and we returned to Sydney 12 years later in 1997. Originally, my family came from Berlin, Germany.
What inspired you to become an artist or designer?
When I was younger, I spent a lot of time drawing my surrounding built environment. My interest in architecture has played a major role in my jewellery practice through the exploration of form and texture.
How has your work evolved over the past 3 years?
Through my years at COFA, and experiencing a semester at the Utrecht School of Arts, my work has evolved both conceptually and technically in both jewellery design and graphic design.
Where would you like to work after university?
I hope to continue my jewellery practice in a studio and then eventually find a gallery to represent me. I am also interested in book design and would like to gain experience in that area of graphic design.
