~continued from last post~ Stopping the part-time

~continued from last post~ Being an artist and wo $~continued from last post~ Being an artist and working part-time actually went well for a while. I made new pieces and had two more solo shows. There were many group exhibitions and with a group of colleagues we were part of the big yearly event that is Munich Jewelry Week for 4 years in a row. I helped organize some important events, mainly through being a board member of the Jewellery Art Association. I list these things because, looking back I realize it clearly wasn't terrible supporting myself on 2 day/week salary and do art, too. At least some credit for that goes to my manager, as being able to move around my work schedule and holidays when needed helped a lot – thank you Ari! Still, by the end of 2018 it had come to feel more and more depressing. I've been somewhat critical of consumerism since a teenager and working in a place akin to Amazon exacerbated this. The amount sent out day to day is a lot. Just before Christmas, it gets horrifying. I refuse to believe people really need more than a fraction of all the stuff we consume daily in the industrialized world. I didn't want to get paid through that. I would rather write more applications, read more, learn more, see more art myself. My birthday present to myself in February 2019 was working for the last day at the retailer. (to be continued) . . Picture 1 is of two Netbound brooches from gravel, driftwood and plastic bags, still on show @gaoshanhelsinki until the 26th of this month! Picture 2 and 3 are of Fountain and Torrent respectively, both necklaces from 2016 and strongly water-inspired. Picture 4 is of Accumulation Bridge, one of the first pieces of the Plastiglomerates series in which I started to utilize the different colors of gravel taken from Helsinki's streets after winter. . . . #backgroundstory #blastfromthepast #artistbackground #plastic #plasticbags #madefromwhat #contemporaryjewelry #upcycling #gravel #wasteart #colorfulstones #fromunderfoot$
