Danimarca

To Marie Louise Kristensen, jewellery can be mystical, playful, serious, dangerous, powerful and so much more. Its history is enchanting to this artist, the tradition and the materials themselves; the sparkling stones, silver and gold, plastic, acrylic and all the unusual or more common bits and pieces that surround us. She finds that these are all fragments that represent her. Fragments which can be combined infinitely into new adventures and are assigned to interpretation and meaning, standing out to provide news from odd corners of a round world.
