2018 "No 30"

30 WINTER LETTERS: 1988 - 2018

Since 1988 I have every year summarised the thoughts and ideas of the year in text og photo, so that everybody can follow which way I'm going. In the first decade the text was quite short, - and few photos. But since 1998 it has been genuine catalogues.

2012 stoprings

It sparkles when the sun shines through it and it gives me a kick when my eye finds the depths of it, thinking what’s going on in there? Move ever so slightly and it’s completely changed. A cloud passes in front of the sun. The colour is changed.

The Winterletter for 2012 can be seen here:

2011 Kloeves Heart​

I just love making jewellery –the precise moment when an idea materialises never fails to make me happy. In my world, everything is created by hand, so that each piece is slightly different from the next – an on-going change. No two items are the same.

​

But this year something new happened. The models for the red heart rings were made in my studio in four different versions, each multiplied in a material I’ve never used before. They are red and soft. They bend and yield when they encounter resistance.

The Winterletter for 2011 ca be seen here:​

2010 The Silver​

When I open the door to my shop in the morning, there is another door that opens simultaneously. On it is the word “jewellery”, and behind it are many other doors. Some which are locked. Will I find the key? One door is jammed, so I have to push it open with my shoulder. Several doors open easily and I can walk in and out unhindered, while others stay slightly ajar. This way, I can pop in and out as I wish.

That’s how it’s been lately. It has been a very exciting time. I have moved between most of the rooms. But, when I look back at this year, I think I must have spent most of my time in 2010 behind the Silver Door.

2006. SPRINGY BRACELETS AND 2-FINGER RINGS

In 2006 the Winter Letter described the year’s experiments with thin springy gold bracelets and a small series of 2-finger rings, which came to me late in the year. One of these won a prize in a Scandinavian pearl competition in 2007.

2005 ”The Red Thread” - Brooches​

In 2005 the Winter Letter was about brooches of thin thread. The Winter Letter was rewarded by the Danish Arts Foundation by an acquisition of four works from the catalogue, which are now all parts of the Foundation’s Jewellery Box.

2004 ”Amfora” – Rings

Winter Letter from 2004 became the catalog for an in house exhibition.
Exclusively containing amphora-rings. That same year I became part of a German book publishing "Monats-Rings," and for this event my part was rings. It contained physically 12 rings, each designed by a European jeweler, and the publication was published in Berlin in 120 copies.

2003. The Queen of Sheba’s Fan - Installation​

In 2003 I focused on a single event, the exhibition “Much Ado about Nothing” in “Officinet” (the Office), Danish Arts and Craftsmen’s exhibition hall in Bredgade, Copenhagen. For this I’d written a story about the Queen of Sheba.

2001 Deer Tracks

The armring “Deer Tracks” takes the viewer on a journey of the mind - to a midsummer day with smells of forest floor and honeysuckle. The light-treading deer that grazed here this morning left an imprint in the dewy forest floor - and moved gracefully on ...

Since 1988 I’ve published a so-called Winter Letter every year – a publication with my artistic end-of-year reflections.

2000. 25 years anniversary catalouge​

Since 1988 I’ve published a so-called Winter Letter every year – a publication with my artistic end-of-year reflections. At the millennium I celebrated my 25th anniversary and published a retrospective catalogue and a CD with the film “As Sent from the Rainbow”. Pi Michael produced the film with music by Irene Becker. It was part of my anniversary exhibition “Rainbows in the Night” which took place at the “Norske Huset” at Sophienholm, Lyngby.
