Sebastian Buescher
"designs are conceived as expressive, communicative tools, intended to serve as an outlet for specifically personal ideas and contemplation...Playing out notions of the absurd and nonsensical, in this designer's curious world objects morph and mutate, adopting peculiar characteristics, taking on strange, unknown forms...reconstituted none, sea urchin spines, insects, human ashes, teeth and animal skulls are juxtaposed with precious metals (gold and silver), ceramics, corals, resins and paper...Materials that fascinate are combined with those chosen for their inherent meaning and allegory."

"Like a collection of under-sized medical apparatus, the jewellery of Katja Prins inhabits a surreal world of unexpected forms, fusing aesthetically the natural and unnatural, the human and the man made...Prins considers the machine as an extension of our bodies, addressing the intimate relationship between the delicacy of the human body and the imposing strength of the mechanical device, of technology, industry and machinery."
Iris Bodemer
"Her most recent series of rings was inspired by a family heirloom, a ring that had belonged to her great-great-grandfather; when he died, his widow wrapped it in wool so that she could wear it...There is also, here, an intimation of a more common narrative, the notion of tying thread about the finger so as not to forget."
