Interview with Peter Skubic

At my first solo exhibition in 1970 I had already designed my programme of work. Seven years later I wrote a manifesto, where I stated that I want to produce good, but not beautiful or decorative jewellery, using all kinds of different materials, freedom of expression. This is the concept I have not changed since and I’m still fascinated by erotica, tension (Irritation, Relations) and reflection (mirrors). I think there is no difference between art and jewellery, because in jewellery and sculpture (which as part of art really fascinates me) we are usually faced with the same problems such as form, proportions, theme and concept.
