OBSESSED! METAMORPHOSIS
7/11/2025 - 30/11/2025
Project with The Pool Amsterdam Jewelry Collective.
Self-promotion often feels at odds at these moments in time, so we wanted to shift the spotlight to the collective instead.
This project centers on the idea that transformation can arise through the act of giving attention, intention, and creation to someone else as individual entities inside of a collective structure as a means of metamorphosis.
Metamorphosis grew from mutual care; from recognising that transformation is not a solitary act. Just as jewellery takes on meaning through its wearer, the collective gains depth through each individual.
We as The Pool are not a uniform brand, but facets
of a shared stone; where in this case each piece reflects the others.
By making for one another or having the other in mind, we embrace the diversity within our group while exploring how identity, support, and metamorphosis can take tangible forms.
Jewellery in this exhibition is not adornment alone;
it is care, recognition, and transformation.

ATLAS Amsterdam
25 + 26/10/2025
This edition focuses on jewelry as an autonomous form of artistic expression, where the story behind each piece is as important as the object itself. Each artist displays their work as an installation, with their own approach to meaning, process, and form.
By bringing together different generations and practices (from emerging talent to established names, and from conceptual approaches to traditional craftsmanship), the exhibition paints a vibrant picture of Amsterdam's dynamic jewelry scene and explores what jewelry can be today.
Participating artists:
Alan Nguyen, Evert Nijland, Isabel Wang Pontoppidan, Jero Leeflang, Liesch, Marguerite Bones, Marleen Hengeveld, Luca Adie, Stefanie Verhoef, Ted Noten, Tijmen IJsedijk.
Vrijpaleis, Paleisstraat 107
25 + 26 October, 11:00 - 19:00
I will be present on both days.
