Helen Clara Hemsley and Mette Charlotte Saabye use their personal experiences, immediate surroundings and international events in their childhood/youth during the 70s and 80s to make jewellery together, bearing witness to their lives in two countries so far away from each other, and the overlaps and connections between them. But also the holes that they try to fill together, carefully, with respect and kindness – thereby complementing reality.
