International jewellery designer at Design School Kolding

There was a full house when Naomi Filmer on Wednesday 1 October told students in fashion, textile and accessory design about her untraditional and experimental work with jewellery design. Under the headline “Body as Space”, Naomi Filmer showed examples of her jewellery design and the angles she works from. A work in which the body is very much in focus.

- I work critically with what jewellery is and can. I especially use the body as a catalyst for my design. The relationship between a piece of jewellery and the person wearing it is interesting to me. Who is wearing what? What happens in the meeting between jewellery and the person wearing it? And what kind of emotions and experiences emerge in this meeting? These are questions, Naomi Filmer told the audience, that she asks herself in her work.
