The Hoard : My way of understanding value, work of the hand and transactions in a time of want.

Sammanfattning: In this project work I wanted to test my ideas of how transactions, value and work of the hand connects in our society, which seems to be losing the touch of human hand.  My work is a mix of jewellery and objects that have a recognizable almost in certain aspects a generic look.  I’m talking about symbols connected to everyday cultural imagery such as the rock scene and the influence of jewellery from ancient over the medieval royal insignia to modern times. I’ve chosen the image of The Hoard, which can be read in different ways. A hoard could be a treasure or just a collection of things, -trash or keepsakes with no intrinsic value.   Another important thing in this work is not only “The Why, How and What”, for me it is also a where. Due to the circumstances of Corona/Covid-19 the situation I devised for this, The Modular Bench has yet to be tested in reality
