Noemi Klein

The nature of Noemi's jewellery practice is a constant union of the expressive and impressive. She fuses craft, artisanal workmanship and her unique mind’s eye to create objects of great subtlety, with a sincere pronouncement of desire. Originally from the West German countryside, she started out making beaded bracelets for friends and quite liked the procedure. Working with metal was a natural progression after being given a cast off piece of machinery by her dentist father, combining an inherited attention to detail and fascination with fancy tools with finding an outlet for her love of precious materials and unusual imagery. Ten years on, she saw a definitive body of work which encompassed self initiated study into the interstices of impressive and expressive form and something from the imagined and poetic, fusing it into wearable objects for men and women alike. As much a collection as a case in point within a continuous body of work, every collection draws inspiration from the ephemeral imagery of life and death, nature and structure. It is a question of carving, casting, and building up elements to make the final piece. She creates objects of beauty and curiosity for the wearer, to forge something out of nothing; articulating the violent necessity of nature, the force by which we live.
