My dad is an artist. Why not? People who know him could be surprised I say such things. We kind of work the same way. Messy, impulsive and impatient. I fix jewellery I create and he fixes.. everything: lamps, mower, washing machine, chain saw… It’s the first time that I see a link between his and my way of working.
New pieces for Solothurn. Not so many. Just 2 or 3. Working on a new theme. Before the wedding. Hope that you will see and hear more those next months…
The goldsmith and designer Wiebke Meurer is our first artist in residence in our atelier. It is really fantastic to have her around for a couple of months!
This month, the Art and History museums of Geneva bought the necklace Taliouine for their collection through TACTILe Gallery. Merci Fabrice!

My table with some sketches. I took the picture 5 minutes ago. Nostaligia. I feel like this picture right now. Tears.
Tonight, lecture of the painter Olivier Saudan at L-Imprimerie and preview of his new website.
Lausanne: 16-04. Rain forest under the bridge between cars and pedestrians. This could also be my house.
Aline d. in front my new wall-cupboard, which I built with Ilya a couple of weeks ago. Was waiting for it for more than a year. So happy. The studio becomes every months better and practical. mmh…
A couple of days in a nearly sunny Lisboa. Again a place where I could live for a while. Rhââaa. I feel so well surrounding by old houses, unhabitated places. broken blue, green, brown tiles on the wall. Crazy tiny balconies covered with plants. Glossy paper public toilets filled with madonas. Electric black wires like wild design on the facades. Why Switzerland does need to be hopelessly so clean and smooth?
For the 4th. Aperti’s edition , the artists of Lausanne open their doors during two days to visitors. You are welcome to come to visit the atelier l-Imprimerie on saturday 17th. and sunday 18th. of April.

Some globes closeby Waterlooplein in Amsterdam. Took the photo yesterday with Patricia. A little bit of sun. Mmm. This morning, I went to my old house in Wetering. Nothing really changed. Coffee with Filiz in the kitchen. Gossiping. Talking about plans and dreams. She took my sizes to -maybe maybe !- make me a blouse with an amazing collar. I cross my fingers. I love her staffs. Check: www.filizakcakal.com. Right now, while writing this and beeing unsocial, I have a japanese tea with Rooz and Patricia. Watching them eating nice sticky rice…
