Change and changeability appeal to me. The circles I make out of cheap materials like plastic are used to make jewellery. The cut material eventually reveals something else. My work is a constant process in which I also encourage accidents and playfulness. My finished jewellery often invites the owner to manipulate its appearance further.

Having the freedom to work as I please has been a huge blessing for me. I have two or three permanent collections that are popular and well-purchased. Moreover, I was fortunate to gain the respect of renowned gallery owners very early on, who sell my experimental pieces well.

In some of my collections textile design can be clearly seen. During the creation of the Lace collection, I arranged small circular forms to evoke 16th century lace collars. The FG2 collection includes even larger works with lapels resembling those of jackets.

I am an active member of the Erfurt Jewelry Symposium committee. Every two years, the symposium is organised by the Association of Fine Artists Thuringia. Jewellery artists from all around the world are invited to come to Erfurt for two weeks. It is always a particularly beautiful experience for me to be involved in the symposium and the exchange that follows.
