Statement

The distant and the near has a meating point. An object can be small but appear large, as if you are very far away from it even though you hold it in your hand. You can also imagine looking into a vast little world. A horizon within.

I use silversmithing as a method to explore the material. It can appear as both hard and raw, yet pliable, soft, organic and moving.
By using the hammer I make translations of the quick lines from drawings into the silversheet to create surface and to give shape to physical qualities of the material. The pieces are wearable jewelry and also themselves as individual, sculptural objects.
