On Floor works:
Necklaces, brooches, rings, and various vessels, opaque or in progressions of ethereal hues: each exuberant item is an experiment in transparency, structure, and scale. The jewellery may look fragile as glass and as light as a feather, but the material and design are solid and strong. She restricts herself to one specific material to explore its full scope. Her recent collections feature nylon thread and she transforms this straightforward material into intricate, flamboyant pieces that spark the imagination. Mommersteeg is fascinated by the processes involved in making a new creation. A wide range of techniques, from melting to connecting and flattening, result in artfully detailed networks. Poetic, with organic leaf shapes, or all Cubist angles, these delicate structures translate into robust, eye-catching forms when worn or placed as objects.
