| Artist Statement: |
Collection "Throw away gold"
This collection of jewellery does not identify with one country or a continent, but rather relates to a social group within human society - High-end consumers of the western developed world.
It is about a specific point of time within the human cultural development…
We dispose, in an instant something which is beautiful without a second thought,. To me, the disposable Nespresso coffee capsules ARE beautiful.
I compare coffee to gold. Gold is considered to be the most precious, sought and fought after commodity, bought as an investment or security for the future. What about coffee, is it the same?
Gold is a commodity,
Coffee is a commodity
Gold is coffee - coffee is gold;
Used coffee capsules become a golden necklace,
It is a fair trade, trading one for the other. |
