Handful - Kaeulatuses : Jewellery Diary 2009-2015

Offers an insight into an abstract and deep world; jewellery, objects and words come together in the personality of Tanel Veenre.

The work of the Estonian jewelry artist Tanel Veenre comes alive in its fullest extent in the current artist''s book. Between dramatic objects and mellow-sensual jewelry unfold thoughts, ideas and questions, which are framed by sequences of pictures showing the sources of his inspiration: photographs of Nordic landscapes, of best friends, of church vaults, erotic forms and the workshop in which the fantastical and poetic pieces are created by his very hand. With this ''artist''s diary'', Tanel Veenre gives an insight into his world - intimate and sincere thoughts on the ideas and concepts behind his creativity. As a rather abstract thinker, these concentrate less on the detail than the big picture behind it: Why and how is man able to create art? Where does the beginning, where does the end of art lie? Where does nothing end and where does everything begin? Text in English and Estonian.
