About

Artist and jewelry creator working in silver and sustainable materials. I see, get to know and try to understand the world through my hands. I also use my hands as tools to make a difference, to make a change. Change and refine materials, explore and create possibilities. They are my language and the material is often my outset.

19 deer, the rooster Sven - and me

Through animalistic material and old crafting techniques I have investigated the relationship between human and nonhuman animals. A complex and dissonant relationship influenced by hierarchies amongst species. A disturbed balance with consequences for the ecosystem. The material was provided to me by a huntsman. Parts of animal bodies considered to be waste that I challenged myself not to turn down. I did not pull the trigger, cannot make them live again, but feel a strong wish to show my deepest respect.
