Winter is the time for thoughtfulness, recovery, lethargy, stillness and close relationships.
With winter comes darkness but lightness, coldness but warm gatherings, moods and ceremonies.
Colours become white and greyish. The days are white and the nights become black.
Winter and Christmas are both characterized by human behaviour. We see it in the demonstration of family relations in the form of various rituals. We also see it in objects that bear a certain colour scale, has some forms, functions and meanings. The use of certain objects become documents of memories. These documents and things play roles that we can not ignore, given how much time and money we spend on them. We could ask ourselves; What objects are best for this winter? What can we, after all, not do without?
The thirteen jewellery and corpus artists in this exhibition are among the most noted craftsmen on the international scene today.

“The thirteen jewellery and corpus artists in this exhibition are among the most noted craftsmen on the international scene today”.
These kinds of writing make me wonder who is running this, who decide this, who decide who is “better” for the moment, who is in etc???
I get a little bite disturb by this kind of lines, this kind of making hierarchies and I think from my point of view that this is something that is strong in some groups here in Sweden…
It’s one of the reasons that I like the internet, the way of connecting with jewellery artist over our boards, to see and be glad and grateful over all the lovely and interesting jewellery artists who aren’t in this “most noted craftsmen on the international scene”… the internet also make a bigger world, a bigger context, all this depend on who is holding the light or the pen, I know that it’s more noted jewellery artist out there, noted in another relation etc…Of course I know that some one get more light on them for a moment and that’s okay, it’s also very good and interesting jewellery artist who exhibit at Platina for the moment… But it disturbs me that they have to be sale in as the most noted once… //Paula.
