Åsa LocknerÅsa Lockner
The ephemeral nature of life is both beautiful and liberating and stands in contrast to my preferred working materials.
Impermanence expressed in metal and whatever else that is necessary to achieve my requirements.
Each piece I produce is part of a complex equation of expression, emotion and random material behaviour. These components at different levels are a constant presence in my workshop.
Conventional goldsmithing techniques in conjunction with an unconventional mixture of materials calls for an “inquisitive problem solving” attitude at the workbench.
This in turn opens new vistas of form and expression to be examined.
The challenge lies in incorporating enough of myself into this equation order to direct but not dictate the results.
