The book gives a complete overview of all the jewellery and objects made by Katja Prins (1997-2009), even the latest "Nexus" collection, is presented in the book.
My work is about the (intimate) relationship between human bodies and mechanic devices, (medical) technology, and industry. With my work, I want to tell stories about the body, the body as an instrument, as a machine - instruments/machines as extensions of the body. I'm also fascinated by the way we manipulate our bodies. These days our body is something we can change, and sculpt.
Our body as an extension of our mind, always in relationship with its surroundings and environment. After all, Man, more, in particular, his body, is the measure of all things.
One story leads to another - I always start with ideas, shapes, and atmospheres and while I'm working, the piece comes into existence. In this manner, my work is a constant switch between rationale and intuition. My ambition is that people will discover their own stories through my work, therefore I steer clear of too many explanations and clarifications. Shapes and materials are never unequivocal and one can interpret them in different ways.
