Johanna’s imagery is derived from natural arrangements and materials are formed into fantastical landscapes, carried out with intricate embroidery. Influences from dressmaking and vintage couture differentiate the anatomy of the jewelry, resulting in statement objects that question the art of embellishment. Beauty is found in non-symmetrical formations that become glamorous ornaments, meant to adorn eccentric necks, ears, heads.
