And one more post for the Poetry in Ocean exhibiti

And one more post for the Poetry in Ocean exhibition that is open now at Gill Wing Jewellery in London until August 23rd, combining ocean themed poetry and jewellery!
This is an older piece of mine that I'm really fond of but which has not been in that many exhibitions, so I am really happy that it can be part of this showcase!
This is:

Today the jewelry showcase 'Poetry in Ocean' is opening at Gill Wing Jewelry in London with a poetry reading. One of my pieces presented, the 'Meeting the Beach' brooch, is inspired by a poem of Hannele Luhtasela and I thought it might be nice to include a reading of their poem for this occasion, too.
This is not a thing I normally do and I still find it hard to hear my
own voice, but i really tried not to mangle this completely 😅

Hannele Luhtasela
on worthing beach

the sea is turquoise and endless.
it looks tranquil
as its heaving, heavy breaths
deposit uprooted seaweed on the shore
like a purring, sweet cat
leaving its bleeding gifts
on the doorstep.

in a warm pocket of stillness
behind a half-buried groyne
i pick up a piece of chalk
from among the plentiful pebbles,
draw wide, white lines
on my sun-flushed skin
perpendicular to the horizon.

i choose another small piece
to take with me
to bring me back to this sound
of pebbles washed against pebbles,
all these rounded, soft edges,
later: but i've just started
to relearn

that sometimes
i must live
without later.
so i draw a line
across my chest
then empty all my pockets
of stones.

This one is done and will soon be on its way to an exhibition I'm very excited about happening later this summer at Gill Wing Jewelry in London: 'Poetry in Ocean' combining poetry and contemporary jewelry <3
I'll put more info about the exhibition when I have it, but until then, here are the lines that inspired this piece, "on worthing beach" by Hannele Luhtasela (do go read this and more of their beautiful work on their instagram @poetry_by_hannes)

I went through some old video files and realized there was some stuff I
put quite a bit of work into at that point in time but then never
actually showed! So here ancient stuff from 2017: assembling the
Fallopia necklace nr.4!

I did want to go on working on them little baskets

I did want to go on working on them little baskets and showing you all some more background and videos in March but then came a long and urgent break because of difficult family issues at home in Germany. Those issues, while they will probably never be completely resolved, are definitely in a better state now and I'm back in Finland. I'll try to get back to the baskets over the next weeks and hope to get something done to show you soon. But until then, have some spring morning pictures from my beloved German home!

Also opening this week is the yearly art sale even

Also opening this week is the yearly art sale event of the Finnish Jewelry Art Association! I helped out a little yesterday with the building and there's once again a big and varied group of artists showing really cool pieces!
The event is on 11. – 19.3.2023, Mondays to Fridays 12–18 and 11–17 on the weekends! Check it out at the Cable Factory, Valssaamo, B-entry, Kaapeliaukio 3 in Helsinki.

The Painters' Association Art Sale is at the same time and place, so A LOT of art to look at and maybe also get something for yourself!
