More than decoration. Contemporary art jewelry as desire, discourse, and discovery.

Ingredients Neckpiece (2008) by Iris Bodemer

A striking example of Bodemer’s artistic vision is The Ingredients Neckpiece (2008). This piece showcases her ability to integrate natural textures and intricate weaving with the delicate shimmer of beads. Creating a harmonious yet dynamic composition. The subdued color palette is accented by translucent blue and pearl-like elements, evoking a sense of quiet elegance, softness, calmness, and trust.

Iris Bodemer captures the fascination with the tension between structure and softness, transforming simple, tactile materials into objects of profound beauty. The ingredients neckpiece invites reflection on the relationship between the wearer, the object, and the natural world through contemporary jewelry design.
