Day at Sea

My unconsious desire to occasionally visit the sea is the inspiration for the Day at Sea collection. When I try to understand this hardly plausible feeling, I touch on a very old part of Limburg.

Millions of years ago, in the geological era called Maastrichtian, Limburg was a shallow sea with scattered coral banks. Many living creature left their mark.

A lot of these tracks were excavated from quarries throughout the province, for example in Tegelen, my birthtown,  and are documented in detail. Think of fossils of ammonites, seal trees and starfish.

In the combination of my contemporary and ancient beach finds, I thread it in my jewellery all together.
