Intro
The four artists have travelled to different areas in the Nordic countries to research the origins of local art and crafts.
They researched materials commonly used in traditional and contemporary art and investigated where historical and cultural similarities are to find differences in this material narrative in Scandinavian countries.
The result is jewellery based on a mixture of traditional and contemporary techniques. What is important here is the significance of the materials and the highlighting of the shared history and aesthetic narrative.
