Statement
Jewellery to me I believe in jewellery- gossiping jewellery that tells truths and untruths, irresistible jewellery that fascinates, annoys and tickles, without being false. I make jewellery that is questioning values and status. I show jewellery that attracts others to think. I am wearing jewellery that loads my batteries, and illustrate my thoughts. I discuss public jewellery that may seem incomprehensible to the viewer and I sell jewellery that people get stunned by or strengthen their feelings. I think of jewellery as miniatures of life’s content and I dream of jewellery that makes a hole in my wallet. Here and now, place and time is necessary for me. That which is junk to one person may be precious to the next. The time is not visible but time is always visible in my jewellery. Jewellery matters.
