Statement


My work is based on an interpretation of the cultural and art historical framework of a given period towards a personal concept of contemporary jewellery.
With a strong emphasis on sensibility I illustrate my concepts using a self-invented plastic technique in combination with precious metals and stones.

Furthermore I work with themes of illusion and lack of function in order to awake my viewer’s curiosity, and to show jewellery in new value contexts.
