Spoons – ‘ Reincarnated’

Artist: Anne Schwegmann-Fielding

Exhibited at the European Commission Representation in the UK  (Part of residency at Arts Reverie, Gujarat, India)

Materials: Indian bangles and mirror

 

Take discarded materials and everyday objects and give these to Anne Schwegmann-Fielding.

Lo and behold! You have ‘Reincarnated’ artwork!

Discarded materials such as crockery, jewellery and shattered glass, buttons and everyday objects like utensils, tools, logs, hard hats, and mannequins get transformed by artist Anne Schwegmann-Fielding into sculptures, mosaics, jewels and ornaments.

Anne Schwegmann-Fielding has been creating artworks for public spaces and private clients for the last 15 years.

The core of her work lies in reuse and recycle with a sense of history and ancient craft of mosaic and thus “the ordinary is made extraordinary.”

At the moment I wish to be in London as I want to see Anne’s work at the exhibition organized by The European Commission Representation in the UK
