Gésine Hackenberg, born in 1972 in Germany, lives and works as a contemporary jewellery artist in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She was trained as a goldsmith in Germany and studied jewelry design at the former Fachhochschule für Gestaltung Pforzheim in Germany. In 2001 she received her degree from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and in 2013, a Master of Arts from the MAD-faculty in Hasselt, Belgium. Hackenberg has been a tutor at the PXL-MAD School of Arts from 2011 until 2019.

Statement

One of the main themes in my work is placing ordinary utensils in the perspective of jewellery. Objects of daily use often become loved and indispensable to people. The things you keep and save often have a sentimental value apart from their practical use or monetary value. Moreover, they can be seen as a portrait of their owner. In my work, I explore how these objects relate to the body and the individual. Wearing jewellery is the most intimate and direct form of expressing this specific relationship to an object.

As I like to investigate the boundaries of traditional jewellery, my work interacts with different disciplines and concepts. Traditions linked to objects or jewellery, their history, and the stories about them are a great source of inspiration to me. I like to reinterpret classical genres of art and jewellery history while translating those elements to my own contemporary world. More recently, my jewellery and objects tend to act as metaphors for mental states. Objects of everyday life and domestic materials become means to express and reflect on emotions.

I use different techniques and materials, that are telling their own stories about preciousness and adornment, like ceramics, (precious) metal, Japanese Urushi lacquer, textiles, and glass. These materials usually come from intertwined themes of domesticity, table, and food culture.
Sometimes, I use existing objects as raw material. In a way, I reuse and recycle material. But what’s more, I transform and redirect their message. By manipulating these items, I isolate various layers of meanings and associations, that are immanent to the shape, pattern, and material of an object, in order to take on these values in my work.
