It is too <em>tabula rasa<\/em>, as if you should start everything all over again. But see, there is an incomplete detail. I set small stones beside it. One suits perfectly. I put the idea combination aside and start a new work. Meanwhile I arrange pieces of wire in a line on the table; seems like something is forming of them. I like one option and make a drawing of it. It is very suitable for the jewellery I\u2019ve started to make, but still I should start a new one for the original idea\u2026 I play with details, every connection forms a different figure and seems interesting. Finally, a jewellery is born from the harmony of chance.- In the book \u201cA-Gallery.

I waited a long time and made sketches, it involved a lot of thinking. In my mind, I had already given up and finally, when it was decided that they in fact did want my design, I had five days. Somehow I managed to complete it, with all sorts of pieces and details from previous works being suitable together. It felt like someone was helping me. It\u2019s a strange logic, that works for me or for metal artists \u2013 pieces or thoughts often are left unfinished, but they are like a piece of a puzzle; they always end up fitting in somewhere.
