Artistic Statement (Else Nicolai Hansen)

Silver makes my life special

My work is based on an interest for creating everyday objects in silver. The function of the design describes the purpose and my comment of the present life and rituals. The design process always starts with chaos, while I increase the recognizable and create my own frame of reference and way of use.

I am inspired by the element of silver; the material, shape and function.
