Kasia Gasparski is trained through an apprenticeship with Jytte Kløve from 1990-1994. Kasia designed a necklace concept for Danish Crafts’ first Crafts Collection, which was sold to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others, in 2000. She now sells jewellery through MOSS, New York, and both The Danish Arts Foundation and the Danish Museum of Art & Design have bought several pieces of jewellery for their collection. ‘PIPPI’S CHOICE’ was sold to The Danish Arts Foundation and was included in pop art exhibitions in Dubai and Kuwait this year. Kasia was awarded the three-year working grant of The Danish Arts Foundation 1996-99, a grant from Danmarks Nationalbank’s Anniversary Foundation of 1968 in 2003, and Inga and Eivind Kold Christensen’s grant in 2005. The predominant materials in Kasia’s works are gold, silver, gemstones, beads, lacquer, nylon and garters. Her works are rooted in classic jewellery techniques but often in modern reinterpretations and frequently in combination with non-classic materials. When asked where she finds her inspiration, she is likely to answer “in the news or on a walk through the city”. Her designs are often based on an underlying thought, symbol or idea, and they are only fully satisfied once the beholders bring their own imagery to the jewellery.
