カーリン・コルスター・ケリ | 石の指輪 by sunroom nichinichi
15 July - 1 August 2022
The rain starts to cease, and Karin goes for a walk in the woods. No doubt – she is going to steel a piece of the big rainbow that was hanging over the elm tree. The rainbow is hiding in the shadow of a an aged tree. As soon as her hand touches it, a ball of light falls down in front of her feet. At home again Karin finds a beautiful Aquamarine in the pocket of her vest. It has the same colour as that legendary pound which has not been visited by humans for over thousand years.
It is like you can hear stories similar to this in each ring created by Karin. For this exhibition she has sent us 50 new pieces, carefully selected from her vast collection of stones. No stone is heated or colored. They all show their natural color and light nurtured by the earth. A stone ring transcending all categories and borders is waiting here for you.

was born in 1960 in Neumunster, northern Germany. After studying art and education for the handicapped at the Heidelberg University of Education, she studied jewelry at Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd and Pforzheim University after working as a gallery assistant.
