Statement
Iris describes jewelry as ...a process of exploring ways to define the senses of beauty and value in reference to memories of significant objects and the subsequent human/social connections related to them. It is a dialectic process since it involves the direct or non-direct communication between maker, wearer and viewer. My pieces create connotations of optimism, lightness, simplicity, joy and innocence, revealing on the same time qualities such as fragility and vulnerability. They often are characterized by a mischiefing tendency, sometimes in harmony with the qualities of the original materials and sometimes making contradicting statements upon more formal and serious symbols of the western dress code.CV
