Naasicaa Jade Larsen is an artist and jeweller based in Melbourne, Australia. Larsen’s practice is object-based; creating wearable, ephemeral and functional objects and installations. Larsen is interested in companionship and narrative, the stories we create with the objects and spaces around us and the implied narrative of the objects to which we are attracted. She has a Bachelor of Arts (Gold and Silversmithing) as well as a Bachelor of Design (Communication Design) both from RMIT. Larsen currently works from Real Job Studios where she has a studio and small showroom and curates a jewellery gallery in Westgarth—Black Finch Sideshow.
