Regina Middleton is an Artist and Jeweller who resides on Wadawurrung Country along the coastal dunes of Torquay.
Regina holds a Bachelor of Arts - Jewellery Design, Curtin University and an Honours in Fine Art, Monash University. The works made for re:made re:loved were completed during a 3 month secondment to Aotearoa, with the highs and lows of being the mother of two young energetic children.
Inspired by the natural world, Regina’s practice begins with collecting, predominantly drawn to weathered plastics/ marine debris/ flotsam and jetsam. These materials are then paired with traditionally precious materials, elevating their perceived value.
Themes of femininity, consumption and grief are intertwined; enticing the viewer to pause and reflect, igniting curiosity and welcoming connection.
