A Decay of Literature

-

Een verval van de literatuur

And I found myself a spot in the most beautiful room in the village; the council in city hall. With beautiful books going back more than 200 years. The perfect environment for the theme of my work.

En ik vond mijzelf een plekje in de mooiste ruimte in Leest; de Raadzaal in het dorpshuis, met prachtboeken die tot 200 jaar teruggaan. De perfecte situering voor de thematiek van mn werk.

New in: 19th century stamped plates

I've got myself some new beauties to work with:

These are stamped plates and are used for chandelier-chain-decorations (I have no clue if that's got a name?)
They are probably 19th Century, maybe early 20th. (... I think; if anyboy could tell me more?)

Etsy Wednesday - taking a break

SO its Etsy-wednesday but I ... my free time is spend working for the upcoming exhibition or working on some homework for my management-eveningcourse


bweik, I thought I was done with homework when I had that Master-degree in my hands

... NOT


So I'm not gonna bore you with my complaining and SIGH's no more, this was just to say that my Etsy-shops are closed for the moment.
Remember my tin-brooch from a few weeks ago? well these earrings are made from the same tin can.

contemporary jewellery crushes - Edu Tarin

One of my jewellery crushes: Edu Tarin

"Jewellery could be understood in a different way for each person, but everybody will recognize some shapes, symbols and meanings. This project is based on appropriating the concept, idea and image of jewellery implanted in the collective memory of our cultural environment. I wanted to establish a link with the viewer questioning the function of the jewellery business today, and then reinterpret it in a critical current context.

       The popular concept of traditional jewellery reborn in a new piece in which jewellery never could be understood as it is. Repeating the same pattern, again and again, till it lose any sense as what we know for jewellery, reaching another point between what it is and what it should be, between what is present and what comes from the imaginary, between the subjective and the collective." - Edu Tarin
