Thoughts in action
Art jewellery
2017
By using the elements of intuitive and free drawing my mind becomes three dimensional. Releasing a fictional world that did not exist until it was drawn. With deforming, constructing and using repetition my experimental handmade sketches and jewellery pieces grow into living natural creations.
The objects are frail, almost weightless and easily bendable because of its soft and thin material. Therefore the beholder must become its protector, keep it safe. The thin black steel lines against a white background questions the viewer of its reality. Giving the objects the effect of an optical illusion, and conveying opposites, drawn jet three dimensional, natural jet not natural. I like to think that I am drawing with materials.
