Threads and Thresholds

Boundaries are never merely lines that separate, but also places of encounter and transformation. In this exhibition, three contemporary filigree jewellery artists explore how lines, structures, and materials give shape to the fragile space between inside and outside, solid and ephemeral, past and future.

The artists construct a language of transition: threads that maintain tension; openings that let light through; structures that are as delicate as they are resilient. Their works embody the paradox of jewellery: intimate and wearable, but at the same time a gateway to open space, to larger narratives — of identity, collective memory, and social change.

Eva van Kempen creates a dialogue between ancient and modern technologies. While expanding filigree technically, her works reflect on today’s social currents.

Bibi Klekachkoska explores the space between vulnerability and strength in subtle forms that unfold like breathing spaces.

Susanne Matsché explores the poetry of perforated structures that oscillate between tradition and conceptualism, clarity and wonder.

Together, they create a cosmos of meticulously crafted jewellery—works that remind us that every thread can be a connection and every threshold an invitation to transformation.
