Jewelry That Makes You Think.

Jewelry & Objects

Wings have often been depicted in art: on angels or mythological animals and in nature studies. Evert Nijland copied, adapted, and expanded several drawings and etchings. Even the subtlest hatching on the original sheets remained intact on the silver casts. The next phase was the addition of generous, associative enrichments, to make each piece take flight. They can be specific visual quotes, or images representing abundance or strength. There’s always a focus on how light can bring a piece to life. The artist isn't aiming to produce a realistic, recognizable result. Rather, he wants us to be seduced and intrigued, enticed and stimulated.
