The Beauty of one Moment

Doris Betz
Every single jewellery piece of mine is a snap shot of my art work.
I feel free to cross the rules of handcraft and I go straight to the borders of the material.
I invent processes of work, which I cannot control. The coincidence is my most important ally. New forms and surfaces arise. Energy, speed and movement stream directly into the metal, the lightness and the beauty of one moment is catched.
