The Flower in the Wound: Situations & Reflections Part 1

Lecture during the workshop SITUATION, a 6-day workshop for international jewellery artists at Konstepidemin, Gothenburg Sweden, August 30 to September 4, 2004.

It is often prompted by existing situations, though it is not necessarily directed towards subsequent ones. What happens happens (or mis-happens). But, like all jewellery, it is haunted by the presence or the absence of a wearer.
