Description
I have used dried banana wood in the Necklace Blue Marine. This wood with its structured surface and lightness makes the piece suitable for everyday wearing, but also for a special occasion.
I love to work with different types of wood like banana wood, driftwood and mangrove wood. Pure jewellery that runs through the bones. You can feel it. It is the basic substance that gives me the opportunity to express my artistic ideas to the outside.
Jewellery is art to wear. Every piece is a unique opportunity to tell a story, or to share a feeling. To say to the world what you think.
Especially the blue colour goes from light to dark with a sparkle of micro granules on it. The silver band is simple and functional.
The perfection of nature’s forms and the beauty of the material challenge me to create jewellery pieces of resemblant quality. Sometimes, my workbench looks like a natural history collection. Driftwood of a wayward-knotted shape, pieces of coral, lichen, dried scale of a carp, petrified sea shell, amber or a sea urchin skeleton gather there. Divergent material properties meet another in unusual combinations. Soft and amorphous runs into hard and edged, translucent stones into matt light absorbing bodies.
The environment is growing as we all are connected at least for a second. We are sending signals of colorful tones swinging over the seas blue roads and red shadows, to the orchestra of galaxies. In contrast, an unexpected eruption, a taste explosion, a fabulous naked miracle of surprise is the true colour of orgiastic blossom.
Blue Marine necklace belongs to the collection Orbis Regius, 2016.
The Orbis Regius Collection
At the beginning, all is empty and dark. It looks like a never-ending sphere. The darkness is strong and heavy. Only a small grain from the destroyed world remains. It’s floating and collecting positive energy from the space. In the right moment, at the proper place, it explodes at the speed of light. From one moment to another, the universe is full. Blending, full of light, waiting for you. Make a wish. Create the new world of light, gravid in possibilities.
To give birth to something new, something old must die.
By focusing on the essentials we reach the blurred lines between natural and artificial. These relationships are the jewel in the composition of freedom and individual expression.
Sometimes we see only what we want to see. Sometimes it’s enough. We want to know the truth behind the things. Truth is freedom. So we ask, investigate and are curious. We want to find out how things work. We are creating universe with the least constraint. The need to create is an elementary necessity of us all.
