Anne Roolaht COME TO THE WOODS. GO TO THE WOODS. BE IN THE WOODS. IN THE WOODS.

Anne Roolaht: The woods and its creatures are a part of us, they are our kin – we cannot do without them. We have to care for our close ones. During the recent years, I have dedicated my jewellery to the protection of endangered species. Wolves, white-tailed eagles, bears, deer, flying squirrels and other animals are represented in my works because I want to bring them to attention, to protect them in my own fashion. With this exhibition, I present new works of silver jewellery with precious stones. To accompany the jewellery, I am presenting my graduation work tutored by Heinz Valk – a cast bronze table. From the same period, but already after the graduation from the Academy of Arts, I am displaying etched nickel silver brooches.

I have prepared this exhibition with great joy. Of course, the creative process has included distress and arguing with myself, but altogether it has been an exciting walk.
