Salamanders by Hilde de Decker

Brooch

Hilde de Decker. Brooch: Salamanders, 2010. Metal. I don't aim to please or to shock people. I am exploring the limits of traditional jewelry, escaping unvolontary conventions and conformities. Interacting with other di techniques, desecrating materials, copying abandoned or banal bjects... it all happ ens purely intuitively. My jewelry refers rather to human nature, to the fragility of life and all the defic iencies and imbecilities we encounter. The banality of every day life and all the sm show up in the middle of this banality, strikes me. Because of this reference to every day life, my work doesn't need extravagance or exuberance in his form of expression. My only aim is to make the imperfection possible.
