HAPPENING
more or less
every ten years
a change in my work
one thing led to another
more or less
Jewellery Happening | Gallery Spektrum, Munich, Germany, 1987
The discs made of coloured tissue paper are transformed into jewellery by the wearer. Something unique and personal comes to life by, for example, piercing, folding, creasing them, and so forth.
A Polaroid photo records the relationship between disc and wearer. Hanging on the wall, it will recall the jewellery ‘happening’.
“These simple, perfect paper circles are presented to us.
What do we do with them?
What do they mean?
They mean what they do, to us.”
