I wanted to become a jewellery artist already when I was a little girl. My family teached me to love our small and especially dear homeland, our wise people, our exciting culture, art, literature. In art university we had wonderful teachers, to whom I am very grateful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love my work very much and although making jewellery is rather time-comsuming, I do it with delight. When making jewellery, I tell myself an exciting story of our daily lovely life. It includes wisdom and efficient operation, custody and protection, love and gratitude. Jewels always support us! – In the book \u201cA-Gallery.

\u201cMy animals started out as endangered species. Bears, white-tailed eagles, flying squirrels. I\u2019ve had staring matches with a wolf and a bear. The bear\u2019s gaze was very unexpected, it burned a hole in my soul. It must\u2019ve been in distress, since it was caged. After all, you don\u2019t put a person in a cage. The essence of a bear is interesting: a bear knows what needs to be done and does it. This truly fascinated me. We often know, that we will never get to completing certain deeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once there was a client, who chose very modest cracked sapphires into a piece of jewellery. While working on them, I suddenly was hit by an arrow of light \u2013 the stone was suddenly like a ray of sunlight, there was so much love inside it. A luminosity passed through space. It was such a lovely gift. We are all connected, that is the most important; that connection. Not as part of a chain, but in connection.\u201d\u2013 Anne Roolaht at the A-Gallery exhibition MEMORY CARDS<\/a><\/span> (2019)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":31954,"template":"","class_list":["post-33510","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/33510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agalerii.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
