"With my jewellery, I put physical form to thoughts about values in general, from the personal point of departure to general observations about the world I live in".

"Creating jewellery often feels like a riddle that I crave to solve - to visualize and materialize the somewhat abstract thoughts into wearable pieces of jewellery … it becomes an investigative Ping-Pong between the ideas, material compositions and my own craft skills. But cracking the riddle is really where a lot of my drive lays.".

FINDING A SAFE WAY DOWN

The brooch sticks its finger into our self-awareness, because if you come a little too high horse, it might be good to find a safe way down before you get pulled down.

The horse is equipped with both crutches, a ladder and suspenders in a slightly surrealistic combination, so the mind doesn´t lock itself a logical symbolism.

There are several possible ways to interpret this brooch, and it is perfectly okay to me, to construct your own personal narrative".
