These two young artists came up with the idea of Hatara Project to create more dialog between two individual artists. As having different approaches to contemporary jewellery they want to encourage open mindness and transparency when it comes to design, contemporary jewellery as well as commercial jewellery.
Under Hatara project Annea and Christine will present their separate individual works with the same theme time. The theme was chosen to point out important values which both artist share artistically. The presented work has been created in between september 2014 and february 2015 and is the result of personal contemplation about the theme time; past and present not forgetting the future.
Annea`s work is based on her previous work for P O N Y jewellery collection and it combines contemporary art with commercial jewellery. She has worked in collaboration with her husband Janne Lounatvuori and created an installation which combines video with jewellery in an experimental way.

Christine has approached the theme by studying the human lifespan; the emotions, stages, moments and losses which are a part of every persons life. She has explored the mind, compared memories and dreams to reality and time. The contemporary jewellery she has created is very quiet, yet loud at the same time.

Annea and Christine have the idea to continue working on the same theme time and under the same name Zeichen der Zeit/ Time Perception in the future- it will be interesting to see how their work developes and creates a serie.
