Ilke Matthys-De Zutter created a refined jewellery collection that evokes the precarious balance of large prefab panels hanging from construction cranes. The pieces seem minimal, but at closer inspection we find that original systems and materials have been used to make the work both wearable and poetic. The work shows clarity of thinking and a great eye for detail, not only in the work but also in its presentation. / PXL - MAD

Ilke Matthys-De Zutter 'SIERADENBOUW en BOUWSIERADEN' .
'SIERADENBOUW en BOUWSIERADEN' is an artistic research project inspired by prefab building, which looks for alternatives for the systems, techniques and materials used in jewellery. The project results in a series of necklaces with a minimal design, in which different ways of hanging and wearing are explored. Besides this, an intrinsic accent is laid on the development of a new and self-composed material for these objects. In this way an attempt was made to obtain a personal and unique visual language. / Ilke Matthys-De Zutter
