Combining vitreous enamel for the first time with silver casts of my own design, fabricated silver, shell and labradorite, I created a collection but subaquean, part extra-terrastrial, for my own taste of Atlantis, more state-of-mind than place.
We close our eyes and feel a yearning for a utopia, a certain missing of a place we’ve never been to, that undefined pining the germans call ‘ sehnsuct ‘- a place glimpsed in our collective unconscious when we dream. I wanted to evoke this feeling for the Dreams of Atlantis collection, that half-remembered vision of home, so hazy but oh, so familiar.
