Art u Wear
- wearable jewellery for all
Art u Wear was formed in the Aussie winter of 2001
by former Toowoomba of TAFE graduate Robert J Sidor.
In order to start
his business in Toowoomba after many years of making and selling handmade
jewellery in markets and
alternative venues, Robert sought help from Mission
Australia and enrolled in the Cert iv of small business management.
Art
u Wear was formed during that time, and it's mission was to fill a gap
made by high end jewellery store and the lack of artist jewellers in the
region to service a clientele with better tastes than mass produced/common
jewellery.
Making
use of recycled material has always been Robert the artist's main inspiration
and the cheapness of found materials coupled with the fact that most found
materials have connections with the finder. I have used clients
old jewellery and other [Treasures] to create collages of wearable art
and sculpture that highlight the memories we all have inside of us at the
sight of some long forgotten object.
In saying this, we were taught that everything has
been done before, there is no new art, and what is old will become new
again. In some ways this is true, but we said, we can reuse this with
our own influence and make it into something that no-one has seen before.
Custom made items can take many
tens of manhours to develop, and i have often been told that i sell myself
cheap. Art is about giving and learning, not taking
and reaping. What i do with my art is create one-off designs that are
made at the right time, for the right person...
