Preciousness
\nMaterials, resources are precious. Have we forgotten this? Have you ever read the text in Pieter Hugo\u2019s photo documentation \u00ab\u00a0Permanent Error\u00a0\u00bb? Have you listened to the radio documentary \u00ab\u00a0The Children of Sodom and Gomorrah\u00a0\u00bb? When I started making jewellery consciously (I feel like I have always been making jewellery) I was recycling plastics from all kinds of common things, cigarette lighters toothbrushes, because these things were precious to me then for their material qualities. Over 20 years of practice have honed down my interests to recycling components that were made to become jewellery anyway. These components are precious because they represent a human gesture that comes out of necessity, and that is both ancient and humble. It is a gesture that sometimes taps into those great driving themes of humanity; love, anger, joy, aggression, hope and you can’t get more precious than that. And if you answered no to either of those two questions, then make sure you answer yes next time you get asked.\u00a0Helen Britton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pr\u00e9ciosit\u00e9
\nLes mat\u00e9riaux, les ressources sont pr\u00e9cieux. L\u2019avons-nous oubli\u00e9? Avez-vous lu le texte \u00ab\u00a0Permanent Error\u00a0\u00bb de Pieter Hugo? Avez-vous \u00e9cout\u00e9 le documentaire radiophonique \u00ab\u00a0Les Enfants de Sodome et Gomorrhe\u00bb? Quand j’ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 faire des bijoux consciemment (j\u2019ai l\u2019impression que c\u2019est ce que j\u2019ai toujours fait) j\u2019ai recycl\u00e9 des plastiques de toutes provenances, -briquets, brosses \u00e0 dents- parce que ces choses m\u2019ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9cieuses. Plus de 20 ann\u00e9es de pratique ont aiguis\u00e9 mon int\u00e9r\u00eat pour des mat\u00e9riaux de recyclage qui devaient devenir des bijoux de toute fa\u00e7on. Ces composants sont pr\u00e9cieux, car ils repr\u00e9sentent un geste humain, geste n\u00e9cessaire, authentique et humble. Geste surgit de ces grands th\u00e8mes de conduite de l’humanit\u00e9, amour, col\u00e8re, joie, agressivit\u00e9, espoir et rien n\u2019est plus pr\u00e9cieux que cela. Et si vous avez r\u00e9pondu non \u00e0 l’une de ces deux questions, alors assurez-vous que vous r\u00e9pondrez oui la prochaine fois que vous vous poserez la question.\u00a0Helen Britton<\/strong><\/p>\n
