| Lisa Björke is
young Swedish jewellery artist who is currently doing her MA in
Konstfack, Sweden. Björke works with jewellery because she
thinks it’s a clever and never ending way of expressing her
thoughts in.
Björke likes the fact that she always has the body to relate
to....but it doesn't have to be a human body.....just a body to
adorn. Björke says that she loves the fact that she can choose
any material, if she decides it is a material for jewellery...well,
then it is.
The value is not the price of the material she starts of with....it's
the time and love she puts in the material that makes the piece
valuable in the end. To make jewellery is to love and to be inspired
of the world around her or the world she has in her mind...

About “Talking flowers on the Becquerel mountain”
This is parts of my degree project from HDK (School of Design and
Crafts in Gothenburg), I worked with radiation and mutation. I was
inspired by the catastrophe that happened in Chernobyl and tried
to create a story about how the nature in the abandoned city of
Pripyat took over the pieces of life that were left behind.
