Veronika Fabian was trained as a risk analyst banker, who gravitated towards jewellery after several years in the financial sector. Fabian’s work is informed by her own journey from complex analysis to handcraft, economics to design. Her work investigates the impact of contemporary capitalism on daily life and personal identity, both of which play a vital role in her collections.
In her project ‘You, me and your stuff’ Veronika Fabian presents a series of chains made of reconstructed everyday objects. Using jewellery as an intermediary between the self and society and as a mediator of value and identity, the work explores the lasting bond we have with our objects. Building on the tension between image and materiality, commodity and uniqueness, craft and design in contemporary society, her experiment aims to create an ongoing dialogue allowing individuals to engage at various stages of the creative process.
