Of poetry and materiality
Most of the time I try to understand nature, its‘ meaning and beauty – by observing, imitating and preserving its‘ most precious moments in objects of some sort. In my graduation project I tried to capture understand coincidence, resulting in three projects Corpora I – V (objects / steel wool), Parvus Corpus I – XV (jewelry / steel wool, silver, stainless steel) and Gedankenknospen (objects / glas and porcelain). The same amount of material undergoes the same work process – and yet, not one object resembles another. Uniqueness in diversity. The five objects of Corpora I – V are each made of 190 grams of steel wool. Forging compresses the steel wool and makes it porous. The flaming process develops a bluegray shimmer, where it gets compressed even further. The result are objects that roughly resemble each other in dimensions and shape, but differ significantly in their impression.

Ein Zwiegespräch
"Ein Zwiegespräch über Wertigkeit" is about original, copy and reproduction in context of the human being. The entire range of pieces is based on a collection of 20 objects found both in nature and industry and transfered to manual copies, collages, 3D-scans and translated into polyurethane. The pairs „SUPERIOR“ (first two images) are about twins being a sort of „human copies“. A confrontation of dominant and submissive characters. In „PARITER“ the original and it´s copy are interacting: the initial piece is oppose to a copy. A dialogue occurs.

From plane to space - from graphic to object
My investigation during my master studies at University of Applied Science Düsseldorf focused on three certain computer graphics. In an ongoing transformation process - from plane to space - I generated computer aided graphics, which were my starting point for further transformations - from graphic to object. Details, characteristics and even whole parts of the graphic were then morphed back to wearable three dimensional objects. The translation of the plane patterns follows the two dimensional graphical elements - point, line and plane, from which a repertoire of shapes was developed. This gave me the option to combine various transformation methods in a collage-way to different types of jewelry pieces.

Ambivalenz des Fehlers
The topic “Ambivalenz des Fehlers” hints that I focused on mistakes in my collection. During a creative process you make a lot of mistakes- small and big ones. Most of them you need, because you can learn through mistakes. But first of all to make mistakes, you need a system or a structure. My collection is highly inspired on the structure of expand metal. The structure gave me full of opportunities to work with. I liked the idea following a strict structure and working in a frame. Within this frame little and somethime bigger mistakes happen and they create a more lively atmosphere.
