Her material is silver not gold with a vernacular created from the classical canon of
fundamental forms. The Archaic aspect of her work conveys peace and power-not to be mistaken
for coolness and distance. The fast pace of living today grinds to a halt when observing her
works when sensing the cautious tentative way of communicating that allows us to discover an
emotional depth the joyful the radiant but also the vulnerable side of the artist ... and
ultimately of ourselves. These are the jewelry objects by Therese Hilbert the Swiss-born
former student of Max Fröhlich in Zurich and Hermann Jünger in Munich. One needs to take the
time to sense all the tenderness as well as the irrepressible force held within her jewelry.
The volcano theme has therefore also played a decisive role in her work since the 1990s.
