Statement

I live in Stockholm, Sweden. After my MA degree in 1998 I started the gallery PLATINA which opened for public 1999. Since then I have been working as a jewelry artist and curator with all kind of projects that creates scenes for the jewelry field.

I believe in
jewelry that fascinates, annoys and tickles. I makes jewelry that questions unwritten structures, and show jewelry that attracts others to think and feel. I wear jewelry that loads my batteries, and illustrates my thoughts, discuss jewelry that may seem strange to the viewer and sell jewelry stunned or strengthen people's feelings. I think of jewelry as miniatures of life's content and dream of jewelry with subliminal messages.
