Statement

My jewellery is created in a sensual and narrative universe preferably combining elements of seriousness and a sense of humor. All of it considered through both loving and critical perspective aiming for communicative art jewellery. I seek to create works where the artistic, conceptual and handcraft meet, and through an investigative practice, the process serves as an active contributor to the design and final expression.

Sometimes it feels like a riddle that I struggle to solve - to visualize and materialize the somewhat abstract thoughts into wearable pieces of jewellery … it becomes an investigative Ping-Pong between the ideas, material compositions and my own craft skills. But cracking the riddle is really where a lot of my drive lays.
