Containment Here the concept of containment means to enclose and to internalize, both in the physical sense but also as a conceptual idea of a space. The inspiration for the jewellery came from a girl I know. She was adopted from India at the age of seven and, in the first period after her arrival in Denmark, she would only wear clothes with pockets in them. I found it thought-provoking that she should display her need for a personal space,a personal container,in this way and was intriqued by the fact that pockets could, to some extent, provide a solution for this need. This led me to consider whether a need exists for a personal space which can be worn or carried on the body and whether this space can function as a mental refuge/sanctuary. The jewellery contains a space* designed to be a "path" to (inner) calm and tranquillity - a space for meditation. * space, enclosed space/compartment/chamber Silver, resing, nylonstrings, Photo Thomas Damgaard 1999

`Ørenpynt´ Ruby likes to travel was the title for my solo exhibition in Gallery Mette Saabye, Copenhagen. It was an exhibition of ruby jewellery - not real rubies but rubies cast in resin. When visiting the exhibition the visitor could borrow any piece of the jewellery for a day. Each piece has a small suitcase and a logbook to go with it and the only requirement for borrowing the piece was to document the day in the logbook with a few photos and a text. When the jewellery was returned to the gallery, the logbook was displayed together with the piece. Photo Dorte Krogh

Ding is a body of work, which focuses on various metal alloys and the sounds they produce. The bell idea comes from a study of sounds and a great interest in the sound of materials. As a goldsmith I am interested in addressing the audible aspect of metal. All the bell necklaces are made in different alloys and shaped by hand thus they are unique and produce different sounds. We connect our inner world to the outer world through our senses. With ding I have focused on the sense of hearing. I have examined a large range of sounds and have described them as if they were objects with a shape, a surface, texture, direction and intensity. I want the sounds to be perceived as objects moving around between us. My work is about listening. Foto Jeppe Gudmundsen Holmgreen

In connection with the 750th anniversary of Koldinghus, the museum opens the exhibition
In connection with the 750th anniversary of Koldinghus, the museum opens the exhibition "The Splendour of Power". The jubilee exhibition tells the history of power and riches from 1268 until today through royal jewellery, medals and orders of chivalry. A few contemporary art jewellery pieces were selected for the exhibition as comments on the Splendour of Power expressed in jewellery.

Forrest_Foto Kirstine Autzen With inspiration from the essay ¨The Carrierbag Theory of Fiction¨ by Ursula le Guin I have made a series of vessels made from materials found in the forest. The materials are stitched together with silk because of its strength, and the poetry in the making of the silk when it is done with care and compassion for the silkworms involved. One vessel is the Raven, made from materials in my workshop. The Raven symbolizes transformation, and we need to transform the way we use our planet. There are two stories told in the “The Carrierbag theory for Fiction” one where life is about making a container, a basket, a net to place whatever is gathered, to share with your fellow beings. The other story is the story about making a spear and go out and kill and come back to tell that story about winning over nature. Two ways of using technology. The energy of the jewelry is the energy from the forest materials, they are biodegradable and can slip back into the energy system of the forest. The raven is soft and it sits in your hand if you hold it, it signifies the wish for care, compassion and change of our relation to the recourses of Mother Earth.
