TOO MUCH

Triin Kukk, Erinn M. Cox 13.09–18.11.2019

We always want more. We are filled with confusion and excitement about how to think, feel and react to what is happening in and around us. We create images and words that blur the boundaries of reality and often become obsessions that we no longer get enough of. We long for reckless love, endless joy, non-binding truths, and fantastic experiences; at the same time unsuccessfully fighting the temptation to fully follow their own wants and desires. But when do we say that something is too much? Where is the line between adequate and excessive, when our hearts and innermards ask for infinitely more.

Triin Kukk is an Estonian jewellery artist, currently obsessed with stones. She finished her MA studies in the department of jewellery and blacksmithing at the Estonian Academy of Arts this spring. Recently, Triin was awarded with one of the Galerie Marzee Graduate Prizes. www.triinkukk.com
