- Hot Chip

I am a long distance runner. The urge for repeating movements over and over again, methodically and resolutely is something that is significant for both my personality and my work. Running kilometre after kilometre or sawing up and down hour after hour. Multiplicity and recurrence attract me. The variations between the details become important creating patterns and rhythms. I am aiming to make jewellery where dynamic patterns form harmony and balance.

I am a collector always searching, always hunting. Constantly consuming, chewing, grinding. Once I have got caught in a loop of repetitions, a routine I find it very hard to stop. Misuse, mantra or mania - I identify with the repeated persistent movement and the constant grinding.

My works are self-portraits made of my latest addiction, or more correctly what remains after consuming kilograms and kilograms of it. They are traces of an unnecessary consumption; to collect and use them eases my conscience.

A Constant Grinding II

This is the second part of this series of self-portraits. They are made of Karin's latest addiction, or more correctly what remains after consuming kilograms and kilograms of it. The fact that they are hybrids of wood from trees very common in Sweden and fruits imported from countries far away, and that the materials match both in colour, texture and expression gives them another dimension.

no time to loose...

Following a frantic scramble to find a wonderful group of exhibitors and a venue to match- I am delighted to say we are well on our way to being ready for Schmuck 12 !!

This blog will chart the development of the exciting journey through curating and organising this soon to be fantastic exhibition...
