Occasionally, the realm of jewellery and commodities shift together very closely... Objects of use often become intimately precious and indispensable to us, as it happens sometimes to a piece of jewellery that we wear day in, day out. .. We love them. They become the jewels in our daily life... My materials of choice are precious metals, china (shards), textile, as well as the very tough and resistant Japanese Urushi lacquer. Often my objects and jewels (kleinoden, Dutch for little treasures) are primarily what they are: small autonomous objects. Its either their use itself (as in the case of my spoons) or just a simple addition (as in the connecting needle for the ice cream sticks) that establishes the relationship with the body and makes them wearable. And sometimes they do become real jewellery.
