We are very pleased to introduce a continuation of a new series, inspired by a collection of found seashells and found objects by guldsmed, Hanne Behrens.  These pieces are the culmination of not only hours of work in textile techniques with oxidized silver and high carat gold, but also of years of peripatetic searching for nature’s jewels. Discovered on the beaches of Thailand to the streets of Boston, these varied curiosities gleam within knitted and woven gold and silver halos.

STATEMENT

My work changes because of new techniques, inspiration and ideas. I tend to work best creating small series of related works, using the same technique but with different metal combinations, structures, shapes and surface treatments.
