Spule 1-9 (2004)

Exhibition at the Haus zum Güldenen Krönbacken in August 2004 following a two-week project in June 2004 in the artist studios at my hometown Erfurt. My former Goldsmithing teacher Uta Stade launched the project and exhibition. Eight of her ex-apprentices followed her invitation.
The theme of the project was "Straw to Gold" a quote of the German fairytale Rumpelstilzchen (Rumpelstiltskin) - a dwarf helps a girl to transform straw to gold. Very much a jeweller's fairytale! My idea follows the fairytale in a very close way, thread spools inspired me to create wearable rings.
