Tanya Ashken: Jeweller, Silversmith, Sculptor

This publication, the first major survey of Tanya Ashken's work, features ninety of her silversmithing and jewellery pieces and 66 sculptures. Three writers have contributed essays, each focusing on a different aspect of Tanya's life. Lesleigh Salinger presents a concise biography of her life and works, while Philip Clarke looks at a life shared between Tanya and her husband, John Drawbridge. Damian Skinner's piece examines how Tanya's work fits into the New Zealand arts and crafts scene. Sculptural works, constructed from steel and cement, carved out of stone and wood or built from wire and plaster of Paris, then cast in bronze and aluminium, complete Tanya's oeuvre. Her most recognizable work being Albatross, the 3.5 meter high water sculpture, on Wellington's waterfront (which gave rise to the establishment of the Wellington Sculpture Trust in 1986).
