ÕHULOSS [Castel in the Air] is a group of six Estonian jewellery artists – Piret Hirv, Kristiina Laurits, Kadri Mälk, Villu Plink, Tanel Veenre and Eve Margus-Villems – that work and live in Tallinn, Estónia. Formed in 1999 has since exhibited their works jointly in Estonia, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Portugal, Italy, Israel, Hungary, France, Latvia and China. The group presents exciting and individualistic means of expression, which distinguish themselves refreshingly from familiar expectations of form in jewellery. Black bread, rusty iron, brushes, ’cosmic dust’ are not usually amongst the preferred materials used by jewellery artists but this is not the case for the six Estonian jewellers. They make use of many organic materials in the design of objects which are on the border between applied and visual arts. They create confusing pieces of jewellery which appear to hover in time and space and play with these concepts. The poetical creations of the six artists evoke a past era, but their choice of materials is shocking enough to bring the viewer back to the present. The undisputed strength of the work lies in its suggestive power, which puts the viewer under its spell. The new jewellery of the õhuLoss group probes itself, the world and life. It is a medium for communication without words, expressing the ambivalence of the modern attitude towards life. These Estonian artists show that especially intelligent jewellery close to nature is very powerful. This jewellery reveals the human feelings of the wearer. The purpose of this jewellery, according to Kadri Mälk, lies in the quiet support of its wearers and in the discrete revelation of their identity.
