Statement
I create Readymades and conceptual objects for the body out of recognizable everyday objects, others scarbs and 2’nd hand clothes. My work consists of making visible the invisible (spatial installations) as well as the forgotten and overlooked through my choice of material in my conceptual objects for the body. Space invading jewellery that takes shape and comes to life when worn on the mobile, living body.My starting point was my wish to challenge my inner perfectionist, my German heritage ”Ordnung muss sein” (order has to be) became ”ORDNUNG LASS’ SEIN!” (order, leave it be”). Earlier, I have been working with remnants from clothes manufacturing based on the concept of sustainability and recycling. I then added leftovers from my own jewellery production.
This project started with a physical letter to friends + colleagues, asking for their scraps or leftovers from their own production to contribute to my project, helping me challenge myself. Since the desire for perfection mostly is about insecurity (mine), I have really put up a fight.
I have worked with several stages of “unfinished-ness”, embraced mistakes, deliberately done things wrong, destroyed what took me a long time to make.

ANGEZOGEN visualizes a passion of mine which is to work in the space between fashion and jewellery. My ambition is to challenge the perception of jewellery by choice of materials, techniques and construction. Here I wanted to use actual, old, worn clothes like e.g. an amazing skirt I bought at a sale at the Danish theatre group Hotel ProForma. Having a theatre family background really surfaced here, making me feel very much at home.
My intention was to use clothes fragments, take away their function and transform them into jewellery assembling objects. How will they be perceived, read?
