COUP de COEUR / DECOUVERTE – Caroline Bäckman
« November » collection by Caroline Bäckman
« With the seasons as a starting point, and autumn as a summary for them, I have examined my own process, abstractions, simplifications, and how to capture and convey a sense. I have started from the circle and the necklace as its representation. For me, it is a symbol of the eternal. The reasons that recur year after year, in an eternal cycle. The hammer captures my feeling and transfers it onto the metal. It gives shape and tells me about the autumn. «

« To capture a feeling and to reproduce the same. It is the biggest challenge for me and something I constantly return to in my work. I explore the relationship between the carrier, the observer and the object. I am striving for an activation between them. I want my jewelry to activate as many senses as possible. I try to approach my work with a playfulness and curiosity and a willingness to explore. »
