{"product_id":"hold-held-earrings-kate-tucker","title":"Hold \/ Held Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eKate Tucker's hybrid works shift, fracture and recombine disparate elements, embedding multiple mediums within a single, self-supporting whole. Her process is fundamentally collage-based: flat planes are cut and reassembled, with some fragments left raw while others undergo continuous, iterative transformation. These combined processes form an ecosystem that gestures toward how art-making dissolves time, along with the boundaries between self, idea and material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e‘Hold\/held’, \u003c\/em\u003eTucker treats pearls as raw material, combining them with other sculptural and painterly processes. Paint is applied sparingly, drawing attention to the pearls inherent qualities. She often incorporates hands into her otherwise abstract compositions, merging the viewpoint of the artist at work with a perspective from within the piece itself. Frequently referencing instructional art and craft books, these hands stand in for the artist's perspective and celebrate the enduring human urge to transform the world through making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHold \/ Held is shown with a ceramic display sculpture by the artist, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hold-held-sculpture\"\u003eavailable separately\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate Tucker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41533643456570,"sku":"KTTW001","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/8753\/files\/KTTW001_on_body.jpg?v=1784547791","url":"https:\/\/www.piecesofeight.com.au\/products\/hold-held-earrings-kate-tucker","provider":"PIECES of EIGHT GALLERY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
