Choker, brass.

Romanian (English below)

Cu o diploma in studii clasice si puternic influentata de istoria antica, suprarealism, dar si imagistica goth/steampunk, Christine creeaza piese, care pun la incercare perspectiva omului despre bijuterii. Christine e inspirata de miscare, de forme abstracte, de teme capricioase si intunecate. Lucreaza cu unelte simple si traditii vechi, pentru a insufletii metalul si a aduce un omagiu artizanilor de demult, care-i inspira procesul de creatie.

With a degree in Classical Studies, and strongly influenced by ancient history, surrealism and goth/steampunk imagery, Christine works to create jewelry that challenges one’s perspective of adornment. Christine is inspired by movement, by abstract shapes, by themes of whimsy or darkness. She works with simple tools and time-honored traditions to bring life to the metal, paying homage to the artisans of long ago who inspire her work.
