Victoria McIntosh

Based in her hometown Ōtepoti, Victoria McIntosh stitches together contemporary jewellery, sculpture and assemblage. A collector by nature, she is drawn to objects that carry a sense of history, whether real or imagined.
Her practice combines vintage textiles and metalware to explore ideas around adoption, body image and autonomy.
Victoria has graduated twice from the Dunedin School of Art, firstly in 1991 with a DFA in printmaking and again in 2005, with a BFA in Jewellery and Metalsmithing.
Victoria was the Caselberg Artist in Residence, 2017. She has exhibited throughout Aotearoa and abroad, including Schmuck 2016. Victoria’s work is held in the collections of Te Papa Tongarewa, The Dowse Art Museum, Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland Museum, Tūhura Otago Museum and Uare Taoka o Hākena Hocken Collection.
