Selina graduated from Unitec Institute of Technology in 2009 with a Bachelor of Design majoring in Contemporary Jewellery. 

Selina’s jewellery explores different rituals drawn from her mixed European and Pacific cultures, through jewellery and the body (skin and hair) connecting her to her ancestors. Selina’s early jewellery tested how skin can also be manipulated with the object, often piercing the skin, to push physical and physiological limits for both the wearer and audience. Skin is constantly changing, stretching, healing and ageing and natural skin adornments such as warts, moles or freckles are points of intersection for her jewellery and the skin itself, which, for Selina is a direct connection to both ones past and present. 

In 2014 with Bloodline Rituals we saw the introduction of hair and hair combs being used to contemplate Indigenous female practices and how they have become diluted overtime within Western societies. 

“Interaction with an object applies a special amplified significance and history to it, resulting in memories that become an essence and ‘soul’ that the artefact comes to possess.
