Cigarette butt necklace, 2021- Another piece made

Cigarette butt necklace, 2021-

Another piece made in preparation of the land art project from last week (@projectlandjewelry) but this one still pretty much straightforward jewelry. Made from cigarette butts found in a little forest area really close to our house.

To people still thinking they're from cellulose or something: they're not, they're a kind of plastic and they don't decompose. They're also full of toxins. Putting those into yourself is your own choice to make, but keep them out of the environment!

I might still make this one a little longer, since there's still lots more butts to be found and then probably hang it for a few days in the forest close to the paths where people walk.

Had a wonderful week, and exciting things coming up!

Reposted from @projectlandjewelry :

This is how the sun went down on the 30th, over almost 30 land jewelry pieces we created over 5 days on the shore by the Segerstad lighthouse on Öland, Sweden!

We organizers, Maja Breife and Wiebke Pandikow, are elated over how these days went, over the deep and insightful discussions we all had together, over creating some wonderful works that are now part of that shore and will be there for as long as nature allows them to.

The month ahead will be very very busy, as we will now be building an exhibition on the base of the documentation each artist made while they worked as well as pictures taken of each work.

Thank you so, so much Aino-Astrid, Elli, Ingrid, Kajsa, Karina and Lauryna for joining us in this project!!

To everybody else: follow along as, over the next weeks and months, we will show you here and in several exhibitions around the Baltic Sea, the Land Jewelry we created!

Tomorrow I'm off to Öland to manage and participate in Land Jewelry, @projectlandjewelry, created by Maja Breife and myself.

To get myself in the right frame of mind I tried out some land art in preparation for that, some "land jewelry" not at the sea shore (as Land Jewelry is going to be) but in a small plot of forest very near to my house.

This is one of the pieces made, a small arrangement inspired by the leaf works of Andy Goldsworth. 'Imperfect reflection", 2020

One of the things coming up this Fall: Precious Collective Online Jewellery Week at the end of September which I am very happy to be part of! We're still in the planning phase of how to make this interesting in this age of remote exhibitions, but I think it will turn out really cool! There's different categories in which artists are participating and with my plastic bag stuff I am - of course - in the 'Precious?' section! 😀
Organized by @precious.collective

I posted about this last over a year ago, since this was supposed to happen last summer already. But then of course there was this little thing called COVID going on and we moved the event.

And then we moved it again.

And then we moved it a last time.

BUT now we are really close! The place where we'll stay is rented and the last 6 artists who still stuck it out with us (you all rock <3) have all booked their flights and we are on for August 25th to 31st! While unfortunately the pandemic still isn't past, with the state of vaccinations as it is here in the north, with the travel precautions we take and with working outside all days we should be very safe. Wish us luck that everything will work out this time!!

Find more information and please follow the project @projectlandjewelry

There are four (!) exhibitions planned afterwards, but more about that when we've actually been able to go through with this!

And one more of the three videos I made in 2018 about different Finnish jewelry artists on behalf of the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike)!
Again, thank you @taikegram and regional artist Heli Kauhanen, @helikauhanen for the possibility!

This Video about Inni Pärnänen @inniparnanen can be found on youtube under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whsFB9HsuBw or by searching Inni Pärnänen on the "Taiteen edistämiskeskus" -channel. Unfortunately there's only the Finnish subtitle, I swear I made an English one as well...

It was wonderful to film and interview these three very different jewelry artists in their workshops: hands that touch and manipulate a material; eyes that follow shapes and already see, what that material will become; voices that talk about thoughts, meanings, feelings. Hopefully these videos also bring joy to the viewers!

In 2018 I got the possibility to make 3 videos about different Finnish jewelry artists on behalf of the Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike).
When it comes to filming and editing I'm self taught and the result might be a bit rough around the edges, but still I am proud of these and happy they have finally found their place on the official channels. I'm also thankful to regional artist Heli Kauhanen @helikauhanen for chosing me for this project!

Some snippets of working on a bigger piece mentioned shortly in my last post. This is very much work in progress and very far from finished. The piece doesn't really "flow" yet and it's hard to see the individual shirts which will be one of the biggest problems to deal with when finally photographing this at some point. But I think I'm successfully starting to create the feeling of being drowned or overwhelmed which is very much what the immense problems of fast fashion make me feel like when reading about them.
