Over time humans have created many rituals with a wide array of purposes. As a ritual designer and ceramicist I am particularly fascinated by Rites of Passage. These rites aim to initiate the life-adventurer in the rules and emotions of the newly acquired status and to affirm that on return to 'normal life' the initiated adventurer is as good as reborn.
One of the main functions of myths and rituals is to provide symbols that help to develop the human mind; to create anchors in the mind that counter-balance the desire to drop back to the old self and slow down personal growth.
My wall jewels are landmark symbols that remind you of a fulfilled personal quest.

Last week I was contacted by a sweet friend. She is taking care of a very close friend who is terminally ill. Her wish was to give a present before she went, a symbol to accompany her on her passage.
What I heard in her story was how hard it was for them to talk about the end of life. That although they were going through such a personal and intense process, it was hard to talk about the obvious elephant in the room.
We discussed my observation and decided together that this present could work as a conversation starter between them. A ritual to share their experience and make their process more whole.
I am very grateful that I could contribute to the last phase of their friendship on earth as a ritual designer...🙏

Do you recognize this energetic vibrant feeling that something is about to change? A feeling of falling in love again, that spring is in the air, that it is just the right time to get dressed up!
They are moments that I just have to get my lipstick out and drape my shiniest jewelry around me. Even if I just go out to get groceries!
I am totally having this feeling right now! A feeling that a new beginning is on the way and I have to get my highest fashion out for the occasion.
My first symbolic act was to put 'Necklace for Janus' on my wall. An ode to the god of new beginnings. And now up to my closet to jump into something fancy.

'It’s not the job of the artist to give the audience what the audience wants. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artists. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need.' (Alan Moore)
Somehow I feel 2020 was exactly this, not what I wanted, but what I needed.
Above all it felt like a humbling year. A year to sit still and reconsider, find new purpose, take in and transmit years of overdue emotions and ideas and to be bored. I feel boredom is such a great source for creativity. I have been so productive. 🙏
2020 also opened up a whole new realm of possibilities to connect and the digital social networks gave me horizons, not only to start new friendships, it helped me to share my stories and helped me to grow my art business.
I have had to open myself to be helped, to be loved, to be humble. I am part of this ecosystem of love and be loved, help and be helped, give and receive.
So, goodbye unforgettable 2020. And thank you for being a turning point teacher!

Jewels have been a longtime fascination for me, especially earrings. The free hanging sculptural volumes are a source of inspiration. I love playing with scale, for an overwhelming effect and also to magnify the symbolic power of honoring yourself with a gift once in a while, to celebrate your life achievements! 🤩👑
I am very excited about my collaboration with jewel artist @mimi_scholer in Barcelona! I have been head over heals with her jewelry for many years! We share this deep fascination for fashion and folk design.
This winter season we mix and match our work. Drop by at her beautiful shop in the Born, downtown Barcelona to see our joint playground project!!!
