Earpiece, Joanne Guiraud 2018
Gold plated brass, silver and pearl
My work is worshipping sensuality and femininity. I am questioning perception and how what you see is different from what you feel. I want to create something that exists between the seen and the unseen, the private and the public, the real and the imagined. An erotic place mixed with darkness and lightness, which express the preciousness of intimacy, the subtlety of a feeling, the boldness of the body. By challenging placement, I want to activate feelings on the body.

I am a Swiss jewellery designer and maker based in London.
My work questions the notion of femininity, pleasure and intimacy. I explore the erogenous world, looking for the right balance between power and fragility expressed through the body. I bring attention to the sensation of jewellery on the skin, believing touch has a power to change the way we feel.
