Dressed up in rubbish. A slice of Norway. In my work I preserve fragile objects and moments in time, converting nature’s own treasures into jewellery. Working in a technique called electroforming; an electro-chemical process in which an object is covered with a thin layer of metal through galvanization, I am able to transform organic material into copper, silver or gold. 2011.

When Norwegians celebrate their day of independence, 17th of May, they wear a typical brooch in the colors of the flag. Using this shape as a reference each participant was to make a personal brooch that would symbolize themselves. 2007.

http://www.torilbonsaksen.no/about-me
Dressed up in rubbish. A slice of Norway. Although my work primarily revolves around jewellery making, sculpture and public art, I take great interest in working with people. I have organised and supervised various workshops. I try to provide a space for people to be creative in. By having a theme for the workshop, I try to spur a thought process that can materialise into small pieces of art. Some projects are collaborations with other artists.
