Contemporary Practice
Josefine Rønsholt Smith’s work procedure is driven by materials and a discovery of their inherent qualities.
She constructs pieces using both industrial methods as well as slow traditional crafts techniques on repurposed zink, wood and enamelled copper, exploring our connection with jewellery, and how visibly hand crafted objects play a defining role in what we perceive as precious.
Her approach to jewellery craftsmanship is rooted in tradition and the importance of jewellery through rituals and relations.
Her works focus on identity, representation and belonging.
From the perspective of a person of colour she investigates, through her jewellery, ways to create new symbols, crests and totems to embody cultural duality.
