Marie-Louise Kristensen 2012

« cultural heritage under a magnifying glass » (about) – « Marie-Louise Kristensen has  been inspired by everyday objects. With an ironic subtitle …. most of  Danmark’s visitors will recognise from the streets of Copenhagen. » –

She is said to be a « storyteller » : « It’s not at all important to me that everyone gets the story right. Making storytelling jewelry is, for me, not telling a story one to one. It’s more like a three-dimensional puzzle where I can work in different layers, on different platforms, using the scale, the materials, the placement, the jewelry tradition, symbols, the title, and with a lot of work and a touch of magic, it all adds up into a finished piece. And then, the viewer might feel a connection, maybe sense the layers of complexity, and maybe feel entertained or amused.  » (AJF interview)
