"Since I started to make jewellery I was always very determined about the final outcome being a wearable piece. In that sense the final artwork is of great importance for me. On the other hand the starting point of my making has never been an explicit idea or plan. It has always been in the making, the process: the chosen material or form leads the way. Drawing helps in understanding things. And the head, the thoughts, the words come later along the way."

"One example: For my last body of work I dealt with concrete, the emblematic building material, not necessarily made to be used in jewellery. I’ve been experimenting with cement, later with two component materials (epoxy based, ready to use) and finally with my own mix (epoxy resin, cement & pigment). My material research and use reflect two basic “technical” questions in jewellery: durability (can a material endure the movements of its wearer) and lightness (in order to be wearable in the first place). The latter was a matter of investigating how thin I can go while still maintaining a solid and strong look.
The solution I came up with is the “hidden hollow” of my necklaces and brooches."
