Through the degree project Metamorphosis; The Human Body in Transformation I have become some kind of contemporary Frankenstein scientist, although I am not in a laboratory but in a jewellery workshop. In this ”craft laboratory” I am modifying body parts, making new parts, new extensions – internal and external. I use speculation as a method to explore how the human body may develop and be modified in the future. The objects, which I call potential jewellery, or maybe-jewellery, are presented in an installation in the form of a clinical setting. It is a representation of where body adornment meets medical technology, where jewellery meets prostheses and implants. The installation reminds us that our bodies are always adorned, modified, and transformed – that we are in an ongoing metamorphosis from one state to another.
