STATEMENT

Creating variable pieces is the focus of my jewellery collections. The option of changing the appearance of jewellery offers a facet of playful interaction between wearer and jewellery. It transcends beyond simple display on the body.

The wearer decides on the look of a piece and explores its possible variations. The formal language can change from clean shapes to opulent drawings on the body.

Giving the wearer the possibility to change the look of a jewellery piece is in some way handing over the last step in the design process. This is a challenge for both the designer and the wearer and it leads to a very personal relationship to design or art.
