EXPO ‘Jenny Klemming’ – Galleri Hnoss, Goteborg (Suede) – 12 Fevr.-6 Mars 2011

Jenny Klemming, Sverige – Land pieces

Gallery Hnoss proudly presents the Swedish jewellery artist Jenny Klemming.
Jewellery pieces have a tradition of being precious personal carriers of memory and social status. They have therefore been handled with care. I like the thought of a jewel being lost, found, re-made, inherited and worn during a lifetime – that the piece of jewellery has a life span longer and separate from mine.
Human interference or possible domination of nature is a recurring theme in Jenny Klemmings work. She wants to point out the human action but also try to build bridges and visual transitions between culture and nature. Her work is a balance between craft and experiments, chance and control.

Jenny Klemming was born and raised in Malmö, Sweden. In 2010, she received her MFA in crafts, specialization Jewellery art and Design, from HDK School of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg, Sweden. Also in that year, Jenny Klemming was awarded the Carl Larsson scholarship and Galerie Marzee´s International Graduation Prize. She is currently living and working as a Jewellery Artist in Mariestad, Sweden.

« As an artist I am searching for connections. I gather aspects and associations, hints and lore, trying to map out my area of interest. It is a balance between craft and experiments, chance and control. Jewellery is powerful objects and as a jeweller I tread an ancient path. When I use an unrefined material I cultivate it. I dominate and bend it to my will or let it go out of my control for a while before shortening the leash. Jewellery pieces have a tradition of being precious personal carriers of memory and social status. They have therefore been handled with care. I like the thought of a jewel being lost, found, re-made, inherited and worn during a life time – that the piece of jewellery has a life span longer and separate from mine.«
