I’ve been carefully reviewing the works that I have been given to respond to; making notes, playing with materials and researching the artists work.
I’ve received three artists’ works: one from Evert Nijland, Tehri Tolvanen, and Jantje Fleishut.
These artists all use materials and techniques in unexpected ways- fitting perfectly with the ‘innovation’ theme.
They mix precious with nonprecious, natural with artificial, and translate traditional jewellery forms into something non-traditional and surprising.
