ART should be an essential expression of deep feeling that move people. Art is where the artist has given a piece of himself. And if it is art, than it transcends language, space and time.
DESIGN should follow this principle: "form follows function".
And MAKING JEWELRY is a balancing act between ART and DESIGN.
