I try to understand my own nature through making jewelry.
Collecting is a constant in my life, I have slight obsessions and I am attracted to objects that have a worn aspect, marks of time, really no financial value or particular use, everything, even the smallest thing has a story and I like giving these materials a chance.
I also feel this light sense of joy when I find something that just fits perfectly into what I am making.
Why is there that innate eagerness of collecting?
For these pieces, I have simply gathered, mostly things found on my walks, the beach, in the floor of an antique market, pieces my friends have given me to see if I can find any use for and I have to admit even “borrowed” several pieces from a friend’s studio.
Deciding just to experiment with arranging, re-arranging and classifying small parts of a big-world-out-there, giving them a place and making wearable collections.
