"The found object, a discard from the utilitarian world lays idle awaiting destruction, renewal or metamorphosis. The found object is a reminder of a person's presence, a witness of time. They attract my perception.
Starting points for my work are these found objects and everyday patterns. The alternating process of experimentation and reflection leads me to the final piece. I respond to used everyday objects and fragments with intuition.
I transform these pieces leaving my own traces on them. Comon ways of looking at things and values in society are being questioned.
I am creating new and wearable jewellery. The results are bringing up memories and are playing with the imagination." - Luzia Vogt 2006
