Christel van der Laan: Statement
A love of materials and how they can be transformed into poetic jewellery objects are central to Christel’s practice. A collector of all manner of things, she searches for carefully considered relationships between sometimes disparate elements, with the intrinsic qualities of the materials as her starting point. Placed together, the mundane, the discarded and the overlooked invite the viewer and wearer to see and value jewellery in a new way.
