With my heart on my sleeve, and my feet on the ground
With my heart on my sleeve, and my feet on the ground
Exhibited:
Jewelers’Werk Galerie, Washington D.C.,
February 2024
With my heart on my sleeve, and my feet on the ground is about how I tackle life. An overflow of feelings, with sharp observation and constant alertness. With a fair share of drama and fleeting moments of disaster. But for the most part, a lot of happiness, love, freedom and power. This translates into my work, and as always there is a twist of critical observation, mixed with humour and a feeling of lightheartedness. The materials and objects I use have an odd sense of familiarity about them, but at the sametime give a perplexing feeling of not being completely sure why they are important, what they symbolize and sometimes where they come from. Once again, I take traditional textile techniques and bring them into the now, with a story telling and questioning approach that is more important than ever, these days.

TakeAWAY
TAKEAWAY
MAKING THE MOST OF IT is an interactive project where 25 participants gave me materials/objects/stories that represented their time in the first Corona lockdown, which I in turn used to make 7 necklaces.
Nominated for the Biennale Prize, 2021.
The prize committee’s statement:
"Jewellery as a carrier of personal stories forms a strong narrative, whose basic fabric is human not material. The pieces become images of a time of crisis, when new creativity blooms and old dogmas are challenged. The artist’s interpretation of the personal stories is both refreshing and humorous but also has a serious note, and the personal artefacts have been treated with great care, whether they are gold or a roller-skate wheel."
