Eva Kerer
Hamburg, Germany
Eva Kerer is a contemporary jewellery artist based in Nelson Whakatū. After graduating from NMIT with a Bachelor's in Arts and Media in 2023 (contemporary jewellery and photography), she exhibited her work in New Zealand and internationally.
As a conceptual maker, her practice combines traditional metalsmithing methods and materials with experimental techniques and found objects, challenging conventional notions of jewellery. Eva explores jewellery as a communication tool, questioning traditional perceptions of value and craftsmanship and examining the meanings attached to the materials.
