The zig zag tracks or 'scribbles' are made by the moth grub as it tunnels between the old and the new bark. Every year when the tree sheds the old bark, new markings are revealed adding to the Scribbly Gums signature. This piece shows the scribbles handforged in copper.

Skye’s affinity with nature started from a very young age, growing up on a mixed farming property near Cudal in Central NSW. She spent hours catching lizards, tadpoles, or anything that remained still for long enough and her room was filled with an endless stream of found treasures, which was why her Dad nicknamed her the bowerbird!

Skye began silversmithing in her last two years at boarding school through Sturt in the southern Highlands. She later developed her skills at the McGregor arts Schools through the tutelage of jewellers Rex Steel Merten, Diane Appleby and Gerhard Herbst. She learnt the art of organic casting with Bob Richardson which is now a large part of her practice.

Skye has been part of many group exhibitions in NSW and QLD including Jewels on Queen, Woollahra and her piece “Organic Wrap” was a finalist in the 2018 Pro Hart Outback Art prize.

Skye teaches one day silversmithing workshops throughout NSW and QLD in rural and often remote communities.
