at first glance the geometric shapes of ute decker’s articulation neck piece appear fixed, yet a closer look reveals the lines move and can be arranged in a multitude of different configurations.

this freedom and wealth of choices engages the wearer and invites her active participation in the continuous creation of a very individual piece of jewellery.


as the silence between notes in music is vital - so is the use of empty or negative space an important element in the work of ute decker. the dramatic play with empty space, balance and movement draws the attention of the viewer – it is a piece that encourages comments and dialogue – articulation is a ‘conversation-piece’.

a multiple - yet unique as segment lengths and arrangements are unique to each piece.

the fact that there is no single way of wearing this piece, speaks volumes to the precision of decker’s craft. much in contrast to her later works, articulation has become an incredibly geometric piece - sculpted for and by the wearer - it is a completely flexible and adaptable neckpiece. it thereby completely engages with the personality, mood and active participation of the wearer, which makes it such an exciting piece to wear every time, never knowing what could be expected the next time it is worn.
