The Future of Apis Melifera

As a conceptual jewellery designer/artist, I create stories that comment on consumer culture, environment and science fiction. Focusing on resources that might become depleted in the future, I explore natural materials including crude oil, water and honey to develop wearable but also time-based and interactive jewellery. As my hybrid practice touches several disciplines like fashion, food, photography, performance and installations, I occasionally collaborate with other artists. Based on my main projects smaller wearable collections are developed enabling my ideas to be worn in a broader context.
