Statement
I have always been fascinated by “recycling” or reusage, to make new use of everyday things.
To transform, to put in a different context. As Pippi Longstocking says: Finders keepers.
That is how I relate to reuse and jewellery.
What I find both at home, in nature - in the form of waste or other natural materials -
and at flea markets, forms the base for my attitude to resident shapes and expressions.
I want the original material and its shape to be visible, first to appear as a piece of jewellery,
but by a closer look to come out as things of everyday life …
I have visited Cape Town, South Africa, to study reutilisation and recycling.
During my travels I had the opportunity to see incredible trinkets and art pieces including small glass beads, and upon my return my jewellery features such glass beads.
Contrast and addition in communicating shape.
My jewellery is inspired from different regions of Africa, mixed with my own daily surroundings. Unisex is one aim with my jewellery.
My motto is: Curious about life.
