All the Four-leaf Clovers

This work deals with the ambivalent feelings of wanting to find a magical solution to a complicated problem. Does luck live somewhere in the act of believing, or does luck inhabit certain objects? What role does believing in luck play in our lives, and when does it become of importance to us?

For me, it was when I got the message that someone close to me had fallen ill. And there was nothing I could do to make it better.

I remember thinking, sitting there, phone in hand, trying to comprehend the message I had just gotten “If I could, I would pick all the four-leaf clovers and bring them to you.”

Jenny Jansson

My name is Jenny Jansson, and I am currently in the first year of my Master studies. I choose to study Jewellery Art because I am fascinated with the multiple aspects of making wearable art. I have a strong desire to connect with the world around me, and I find that my work is often centered around understanding or commenting on the times we live in. In this exhibition I have chosen to super charge my work through the care and dedication I have put into the process of making the piece.
