Eva van Kempen (November 30, 1976) is a Dutch goldsmith - designer, whose earlier work consists of merely traditional goldsmithing techniques, such as filigree, wax carving and embossing. Nature, indigenous jewellery and Art Nouveau clearly influence her elegant and refined designs.
Her conceptual work and source of inspiration, however, is anything but traditional.
Statement
The inspiration for my jewellery line "LifeLines" finds its origin in medical tools and materials. With these jewels made from safe hospital waste, like out of date intravenous systems or rejected hypodermic needles, I show the value and beauty of hospital materials. With minimal interventions and by adding traditional materials used for jewellery, such as precious metals, diamonds and pearls, I seduce the viewer to look with new eyes. Despite the fact that I started working with these materials as an attempt to accept certain events as well as my own mortality, I feel my ode to hospital materials can help people to treasure them.CV
