'The true realness lies in the mirrorings and reflections of reality. Our reality is not the reality. Behind the reflections is where the realm of paradise or truthfulness is.' 

'The true realness lies in the mirrorings and reflections of reality. Our reality is not the reality. Behind the reflections is where the realm of paradise or truthfulness is.' 

I am fascinated by 'reality' and the transforming influence of our personal, spiritual or psychological approach and the sub-conscious. 

This body of work is a registration of the process of abstract little sticky Play-Dough ideas literally forming shape. It shows the ping-pong between thought and matter, the worldly and the unworldly, earth and paradise. Through wearing, touching and absorbing these 'materialised ideas' you connect to the eternal; the realm of ideas, dreams, gods and paradise. 

The play between rediscovered and redeveloped ancient Greek precious materials as Corinthian bronze and electrum with 3d techniques, connects the classic with the contemporary and the virtual- with our -relative- reality.

These jewelries are a result of my artist in residence in Athens during the exchange project INITIATION that was curated by Loukia Richards and Christoph Ziegler. We jointly exhibited with all participants at SIERAAD JEWELRY ART FAIR in Amsterdam.
