SEVEN CONTINUED ON P20
BESPOKE JEWELLERY ON EXHIBITION Discover the work of Zuzy Noy – Bondi’s most beloved bespoke jeweller. Hosted by Jewels on Queen, this exhibition at Bangalow’s Ninbella Gallery features fabulous handcrafted silver sea creature collars, bold brass bathing-beauty brooches, and outrageous one-off silver sunnies set with turquoise, ebony and mother-of-pearl. The collection will be on display for two weeks only. Zuzy is an Israeli-born creator who came to Australia in 1986 and worked with Ilaria and Angelo Logi in their Paddington studio during the 1990s, making exquisite silver puzzles for clients as exclusive as Queen Elizabeth II. He started his own studio
in Surry Hills, before settling in Bondi, where he resides and works today. His quirky work has a Gothic note. He etches many of his pieces with imaginary calligraphy, sometimes using enamel to achieve a primitive effect. His inventive clasps, using invisible hinges, give a magical quality to his pieces. Zuzy has largely flown under the radar, with his recent Sydney show at Jewels On Queen introducing him to a whole new audience. Now his signature jewellery will be available in the Northern Rivers. Documentary maker and director of family business, Jewels on Queen, Nell Schofield now calls the Northern Rivers home and has
bought Zuzy’s work to Bangalow. ‘How good is Bangalow?! I love living in the postcode, and to now be showcasing the first of our jewellers here at Ninbella feels like such perfect fit! Loving it all!’ The jewellery was delivered by good friend and fellow artist/ performer Gretel Killeen, who says of Nell, ‘I’ve known Nell for a million years. She recently hosted my first ever mini-exhibition. I adore her vision. She’s a great supporter of the arts and a wonderful curator’. Zuzy’s work is on show exclusively at Ninbella Gallery, until Saturday 1 August. Open seven days, from 10am–3pm.
The Beach Hotel continues to roll out some awesome socially distanced musical moments with Ben Walsh playing on Wednesday from 7pm. Thursday sees the Josh Hamilton duo step up to the podium, and Friday it’s the effervescent Jon J Bradley at 3pm, followed by the Dallas James duo at 8pm. So many bands are having to strip down to solos, or two- or three-handers to make it through under the stringent COVID conditions around entertainment. There is still no dancing, so those who become infected with the joy of music are going to have to be content with a nice cold beer and a good old bit of chair writhing. Saturday, its Jordan Mac at 1pm, Matt Hanley at 4.30pm and the Carly & Roo duo at 8pm. Monday welcomes Fernando Aragones at 7pm, and Tuesday its Max Foggon at 7pm. And on Wednesday it’s Jesse Balfour on the floor.

The annual French Film Festival was one of the many nation-wide events that had to be cancelled because of COVID. The good news is, with cinemas opening with social distancing in place, this wonderful celebration of film will be resumed, everywhere except Melbourne, with sessions screening in Byron until 14 July. The Films include How to be a Good Wife, which is set in 1968 and is about the head of a housekeeping school for teenage girls, who has her pristine life implode when she encounters her long-lost first love, whilst simultaneously learning that her business is on the brink of financial ruin. Other gems are My Days of Glory, about a former child-star given the chance of a lead role in a big-budget biopic, but he must decide whether it’s worth casting aside the comforting familiarity of failure in order to finally stand on his own two feet. And the classic is Les Miserables – set in the troubled Parisian district of Montfermeil, this searing tale follows cop Stéphane, who works on the fringes of both the city and society.
