Fake-Ass Chains
Pendant / Cuff
Casted Aluminum
Chains are, something that holds things together. A captor to the prisoner, a boat to an anchor, a person to their wealth. A chain is defined by its links, made up of solidified material interconnected to make up a flexible form. In Fake-ass Chains, I am exploring the representational aspects of chain link jewelry by making jewelry representing chain link.

Rivers trace the passing time. A swirl in a stream and the beat of a wave, are the structures of a small moment.

Questioning the assumptions behind the wearing of diamonds and gold I encourage to review our priorities, undermining assumptions about what counts as desirable by transmitting the everyday and ordinary new value. „A new life is given !!!” - I assume, and I leave a space to the potential wearer to put a new value and meaning into the object and to implement personal statements, attitudes and stories.
No White Background Exhibition
“Once you learn to care, you can record images with your mind or on camera.
There is no difference between the two.”

What do we want to express when we capture our work in an image?
What is the essence of what we want to express?
For Athens jewelry week we wanted to change the white background and show a different atmosphere in the image of the work, show it in a context and in a completely different and personal way.
What is an image? How do you communicate? And how it is perceived?
This is the beginning of a project that will continue to grow and develop at the Metal and Art Jewelry Department of the Oslo National Academy of the Arts.
