EXPO ‘Black Bile – Hanna Hedman’ – Platina Gallery, Stockholm (Suede) – 31 Janv.-16 Mars 2013

Platina Gallery -  Hanna Hedman  Exhibition – Black Bile Platina 31st of January-16th of March 2013

“ALL AROUND IS BEAUTY, BUT A LINGERING BLEAKNESS IS PULLING DOWNWARD.” – HANNA HEDMAN

Hanna Hedman’s new group of jewellery specially produced for her solo exhibition at gallery Platina merge from aesthetics of loss, personal inner darkness, imitated nature and talismanic objects.

Blossoming sentimental flowers that imitate still life paintings become preserved into metal. Desiccated leaves form a hand that wants to hold on to you or a mask to hide behind. The work represent a frozen moment of decay; a preserved dark beauty that derives from the struggle of good and evil. Light and darkness are contesting one another. The jewellery wants to be beautiful on one hand, but on the other hand haunting and not even jewellery at all.

Materials: Copper, silver, leather and paint.
