Gold am Ring und Gold an der Kette
The jewellery is created by changing metal shapes. The focus is not on filing, but on techniques like punching, splitting or expanding, the kind of techniques that started out in wrought iron work. By working with precious metals, these "old" techniques are used in a new context. The jewellery arises exclusivly from the process of changing shape, and after that, no further processing takes place.
The egg, symbol of fertility and life is the fundamental element of this work. Symbolic for the growing up of man the golden egg grows also and finally, a piece of jewelry is created. Later a ring can be made out of the golden egg.
Material splitting produces gently swung deformed edge portions, which obtain a notion of the basic form.
Material: Gold, Silver, Iron.
A cube is punched and expanded to a ring. This produces a very clear and elegantly balanced symmetry.
