Silvia Weidenbach, brooch, enamel oncopper, 2010

Silvia Weidenbach is interested in dualism: in perfection and destruction, beauty and aversion, the accidental and calculated, chaos and control or the part and the whole. This is expressed in her jewellery, made from traditional materials like copper with enamel, in old and ancient processes like forging and melting. Choosing the right moment to stop such a dynamic process gives these seemingly rough works an immense power and vitality.
