Trace

One of the most exciting moments of my art making is to be encountered with a blank sheet of paper ready to be transformed.

Worrying about making it dirty, I always try to control the lines of my drawings to be sharp and accurate.

However, no paper can stay clean and no drawing can be perfect.

What is believed to be a mistake is actually what makes a drawing a personal distinctive piece of art.


In nature, there are no rules of how the tree grows and how the mountains are laying one behind another.
Therefore, it gives me the freedom to trace their lines however I want and it will be always right.

The brooches are used as a medium to represent my drawings of landscape, with only a few structured lines to define nature scenes.

While wearing the brooches you cannot avoid scratching its surface. These scratches

will be part of the landscapes, even if those are unintentional.

By wearing the pieces, they evoke further story telling through their daily contact with the body.
