Artist's Statement ... continued
I prefer simple forms with a clear expression.
Never the less, the simplicity of a form determines that the details become more important. Often my pieces are quiet, fundamental and elementary, and many of my forms have a softness in look and feel.
Certain designs are allowed and even supposed to put people off. They want to question, to lead away from habit to show a new perspective and therefore to broaden views. Certain designs just want to please or make people smile...
Altogether, I hope that jewellery is not to be taken too seriously.
In my view, jewellery is losing it’s significance and it’s message if it is lying in a drawer or safe and just worn once a year for fear of damaging or loosing it.
Desirable, jewellery should be active.
Jewellery is a mirror of the artist's emotions - of their personality, of their life experiences. After all, I am convinced that nobody can create something without having experienced it before in some way.
My jewellery is an expression of my emotional being.
