A "hole" he said.



Gabriela Felgentrager

"My work is not of the pretty variety and I frequently use unconventional materials. The form and size of my pieces encourage both the wearer and the observer to re-think their notions of what jewellery is and what is wearable. For me a ring is more than a "hole" for the finger. A brooch is more than a pretty accessory. These body objects have their own place and spaceā€¦".
