SEABLING
Reclaimed jewellery
Sadly, every shore is a treasury. We make jewellery from marine plastic debris. Each piece is unique. Washed ashore in Norway. Seabling is a practice-based exploration of found marine plastic material in the context of discursive jewellery.

OCEAN PLASTIC AS JEWELLERYÂ MATERIAL
Looking closely
When taking a closer look at every plastic piece, we see cracks, texture, color nuance, differences in opacity and a whole spectrum of material qualities. Forms are generated by a range of forces we do not control. We experience jewellery as an open and interesting discursive platform for the exploration of marine plastic debris. Plastic is a versatile material. But astray in nature it undermines the conditions for life on this planet.
