Artist Statement:

To me a jewel represents a place in the world in which one can loose oneself like in the sparkling of a diamond or the carefull observation of little plants or moss.

The alienation that results from the competition between 'the natural' and the 'artificial' is an aspect I try to give form to in my jewels.

Allthough a jewel is a small object it can be a world of thoughts.
