She seems to be fascinated by the food theme, as it is so recurrent in her works…

Abschiedsfest by Constanze Schreiber material:oxidated silver, ceramic, silver
A bracelet which may put a special meaning on the mourning ritual, hiding its message behind an apparently common exterior appearance
left: Friend or foe? by Susan Pietzsch material: pvc
A long tape measure of transparent PVC with red imprint, to be worn as a necklace. Instead of inches designations are given to assess the other person’s nature: friend or foe?

It is intended for pleasure derived from a private ritual, the enjoyment of slowly sucking the beads and the unexpected find of a concealed preciousness

The Amazing Animal project, a cross between contemporary jewelry, personal feelings, and visual arts…
“We live surrounded by innumerable amounts of objects. By personal objects and belongings an indivisual leaves his trails and marks behind. Amazing Animal: Mervi Kurvinen (-74), Kati Nulpponen (-74) and Maria Nuutinen (-75) are jewellery artists, making contemporary jewellery, jewellery- like objects and installations. The name of the group comes from the one and only animal who decorates his body on purpose. Human body is a playground for jewellery artist, jewellery works as a sign from a person to others.”

The amazing Bears project by Kent Rogowski…
“There is something about us all that is stuffed.
Stuffed animals have been turned inside-out and restuffed… Simple patterns and devices that were never meant to be seen are now what form the bears’ physical traits and give them a unique personality… they are once hideous once cute, disturbing yet endearing while they offer metaphors for our own experience.”
Bears the Book is available here
