My artistic approach

Creating jewellery is an art form for me. I think of jewellery as applied art closely related to the human body. Jewellery can arouse emotions and provoke, and I like to think that the jewellery I create is just like that; that it inspires discussions, encourages reflection, attracts attention and promotes values close to me.

My graduate collection

From the beginning of working on this new project, I knew that I would be observing nature from a given scientific perspective. Mathematicians agree that nature is a very organised mathematical mechanism, which here and there shows through its randomness and organicity. I find this 'rule' incredibly inspiring and fascinating, and that is why I decided that the shapes and patterns creating this hidden skeleton and associated with the process of growth and movement: lamellas, spirals and waves would become the axis of my graduate collection called Archē.

My process

When it comes to the methods I use within my practice, I like to combine different techniques. I am fascinated by new technologies and the perspectives they open up, but I also like sitting at my bench and working with my hands.

Regarding the materials I use to produce my works, I like to ensure they are safe for me, my Clients and the environment (*I work with plant-based resin, recycled silver, found objects etc.) What is unique about my recent collection of earrings is that I used 3D-printed nylon to produce them. SLS nylon is still rarely used in the process of jewellery-making, so I am extremely happy to share the results of my work with this new material, which I hand-dyed using my proprietary methods.
