Bio
Jeanine van der Linde is based in The Netherlands, with contemporary jewellery training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium. For her graduation collection, she received a nomination. Currently, she is pursuing a Cross-Over course within the jewellery and textile studios at the Academy. Jeanine's work is represented by Gallery Pont & Plas in Ghent.Statement
By delving into specific themes, her conceptual wearable art emerges. The choice of material and design is framed by project-based work. Research into the possibilities of various materials plays a significant role in this process. With the intention of increasing recycling efforts and a commitment to a smaller ecological footprint, she aims to set waste streams in motion. The central focus of her work lies in the reuse of existing natural and/or synthetic materials.Round & Round Collection
The brooches from the Round & Round Collection come to life in the context of the cyclical nature of the circular economy, where there is no 'real' waste, but rather materials that are reused. The round shape of the brooches symbolises the continuous cycle of recycling and reuse, emphasizing sustainability and environmental consciousness.
Airborne Collection
Synthetic fibers dislodged from clothing are spiralling around the world. Research shows that we inhale these microplastics, and that they have been observed in the deepest parts of our lungs. This raises questions about the impact on our health.
Our lungs are vital. Breathing is a constant and basic necessity of life. We breathe air everywhere and at all times. However, this air is increasingly contaminated with pollutants and microplastics. Since 70% of all clothes are made from plastic materials, yarn sheds synthetic fibers that end up in the air we breathe. How will our lungs respond to constant inhaling of airborne plastic pollution?
Turning Tides Collection
Living near the coast of the North Sea, I always found beauty and inspiration in the objects these shorelines provide me with. Collecting fossil shells from times long past, when nature was still untouched. Now, I witness large amounts of plastic debris that harm the environment. With every incoming wave, the disparity between humans and nature grows. Memories of unspoiled shorelines are washed away by plastic-infested tides.
