Biography
Deb Pirard was born in Mt Isa, Queensland in 1955. She creates jewellery and body adornments made from sterling silver, bone, buffalo horn and wood. Her interest in her chosen media began as a child when she accompanied her family on weekends copper gouging around Mt Isa. Some of her pieces were featured in the 2001 Brisbane exhibition “Gatherings, Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art from Queensland, Australia”. Her catalogue entry for this exhibition says, “I am interested in the social aspects of wearing jewellery; how it may reflect the status of the wearer; the crossover of body ornamentation and tribal identification and its symbolism when borrowed by other cultures. I enjoy making story pieces as I feel they create special meaning for the wearer.” This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.
