Thesis (MA (VA)(Visual Arts. Jewellery Design))--University of Stellenbosch, 2008. / In this thesis I explore my jewellery practice as a transformative process. I suggest that
the handling of material can be described in alchemistic terms as a process that is
primarily aimed at the transformation of the alchemist him/herself. This view is
applicable to jewellers who employ an alchemistic approach to their own practice. I will
demonstrate this point by dividing my exploration into three sections, namely
transformation of material (which also entails the transformation of value),
transformation of meaning, and finally, the ritualistic process of transformation as a
transformative element.
