The Book of Horrors & Hopes
ongoing
Arabel Lebrusan’s work as an artist is intrinsically entangled with her work as a jewellery designer. Her art jewels are largely conceived as responses to specific social injustices, ecological concerns and feminist viewpoints, narrating powerful stories using a poetic language.
The Book of Horrors and Hopes serves as a diary chronicling the stories Lebrusan has encountered throughout her 20-year jewellery career, aiming somehow to digest the brutality of the abuse, exploitation and inequality.
