They are called dewdrops and they are beautiful. So delicate and soft, they tend to break up when you touch them. I wanted to preserve these drops of nature, caught on the wood, made of glass. They are floating on the water, with no possibility of a crash. They are now out of harm's way, closed in a bigger translucent bubble. My installation is here to protect and guard bubbles of delicate built.

Statement
Into the Unknown If the material character dominates in the jewelry, it is caught in the moment of fascination, even if it exposes him to extreme conditions, such as the processing by a human. By focusing on the essentials and not to external conditions, we reach the blurred lines between the natural and artificial. These relationships are the jewel in the compositions of freedom. She poured herself a cup of coffee and sat down again to her laptop. The "Flatworms" have brought up an idea that might work well. She has never seen something like that, this fine, flaky body look like stripped layers of paint that were so colorful that one could hardly believe it ....... They have taken it to her heart. Far below the horizon, in the darkness of the ocean it lives unobserved by humans. Where the light goes out and ceases to exist, romp creatures of unknown nature. They lure us in mysterious ways, open up their habitat and run off with us into their closed world. In their habitat „live“ many algae. Alginate is a material which is derived from algae. Mixed with water, it serves as a jelly-like mass for body forming. As a purely biological material it is safe and environmentally friendly. Process after the water evaporates and the shape shrinks and dries out. It is very easy. This ease has intrigued me. This was the moment where I have processed it and made jewelry of it. I've often changed, further carved, colored, or coated the imprint. These pieces include cement, pigments or sand. What are these objects? They are mild forms, imprints of shells, skeletons of marine organisms, parts of melted sand grains together, or the unknown nature which we cannot see. This jewellery shows how I see the real, or even the unreal. There are not real found shells, or coral skeletons, there are only three-dimensional pictures of it. And what is than what could be known only seems more real than visible things. The game played by real and not real, takes place in jewelry and the wearer's body.
The Scent of Jewellery I always think about the connection between aroma and jewellery. How much smells influence our life and our sympathies to others - for a long time the connection is proved between pheromones and partner choice, in addition, how smell our brain and our emotions strongly influence. Wearing perfume like jewellery. I’ve impregnated wooden pieces (from silver fir) with oil mixture of ethereal oils and bee-wax to make a new dimension and an experience which has his origin in Pomander (or musk apple). The relation between jewellery and perfume is very narrow. In the middle Ages the ladies and lords of the Provence carried small pendants filled with musk or amber which was called “Pomander “. Magic forces were ascribed to this pendant and one said that it protected its bearer. The pomander was worn or carried in a vase, also known by the same name, as a protection against infection in times of pestilence or merely as a useful article to mollify bad smells. Ceremonies, Amulets, Perfumes To reassert tribal needs and memories You can see the jewel But if you close your eyes You can “only” smell it Smells like sweet moschus Like memories. Emotion is a memory of scent Scent is a memory of emotion The deconstructive jewelry Silver and gold. Glass and gems. Construction and emotion. Deconstruction and structure. In and between. Forms twist their way out from the inside. They lift off the skin of the jewelry piece, exposing the structure, they create a second skin around the new volume. The structure breaks down, the surface fills up with forms that are then put under tension by being twisted to each other and to the piece. Between inside and out, original and addition, structure and facade. Pure form is interrogated in a way that reveals its twisted and splintered structure. This apparent chaos actually constructs the body of the jewelry pieces. The internal disorder produces the bar even while splitting it. It is actually constructed out of fragments of that world. The surface is a side effect of the dialogue between internal contorted geometry and external geometry.
Jewellery is for me an object, which communicates on non-verbal level. Jewellery emits signals. The signals which originate from thought, ideas and concepts. These pulsate in the space and communicate. My main idea is to show jewellery as an object which becomes its power by wearing on human body. I find my inspiration often in the nature. The nature has perfected her forms about milliards of years; to imitate their creations is for me natural. I’m interested in deals with interaction between living and non-living elements and systems. The transformation is about the symbiosis of these two systems. The transformation of animals in art; pre-historical animals, totem animals or insects. These nature creations transform our human being. Our inner life and soul. I was inspired by natural stones and biological forms. I have transformed the form of living animals in jewellery pieces, by using natural stones (fluorite, topaz, aragonite, lapis lazuli, aquamarine, garnet…..), amber, pearl, silver and copper. Many people believe that abundance will come by working with certain things like candles, crystals and essences. For me is jewellery making abundance enough. Abundance is like a never ending sea of inspiration. There are corals in the sea and golden amber pieces. I combine these in pairs and they perform a jewellery piece. Intimacy is for me a theme, which is in jewellery still current. Intimacy is both the ability and the choice to be close, loving and vulnerable. Intimacy requires identity development. You have to know yourself and your inner self in order to share your self with another. Knowing yourself makes it possible to stand for yourself in an intimate relationship without taking over the other or losing yourself to the other. Intimacy is present in jewelry, secret and scent. The scent of everyone is very personal and intimate. That is why I choose a pomander as an inspiration source for “Intimate Jewelry”, I’ve also made scented necklaces at my dissertation work “Paradiso/Inferno”. Suggestions to the creation of Paradiso/Inferno were my emotional forces, experiences and internal pictures. The other side of scented Paradiso is Inferno, a place where demons of fear live. To defeat these demons signified to bring them to the surface. I have pulled down my fears symbolically from my face. Very much repeated external cleaning of my face by a cosmetic peel-off mask (which releases the skin from impurities) has projected itself after about 60 repetitions in my inside. It was a trip through the purgatory. At the end an amount from wafer-thin, clear skins with my facial impression remained. In these skins (masks) my fears are caught, and I can defeat them only if they become jewellery. The fear thereby loses its strength and cannot injure me any more. I have sewn the wounds, but the scars have remained. Here I have also enclosed a few precious stones (amethyst, garnet and aquamarine) which stand for my deepest inside.

	[Book] Into the Unknown / Jewellery The book that will be launched at the opening under the same title at Gallery V&V in Vienna on January 31st is the result of a research by the artist: Münzker's creations origin in deeper layers of human consciousness, like Redon's shimmering-ascending sea-animals or the gloomy-glowing being in the sea-bed of Kubin's "Deep-sea". Feelings, wishes, fears and instincts drift on the bottom of the soul.
