Jewelry artists can work across different disciplines just as Janna Syvänoja does. Her work can be as well a big wall size installation from birch bark or a brooch made out of paper, set boldly on the body.

Janna Syvänoja (b. 1960) is a Finnish jewelry artist. She creates sculptured jewelry out of recycled paper, maps, catalogues, dictionary books, and other found objects.

“The previous use of the paper material associated with communication between people - message and expression. A piece of jewelry is worn for the same purpose.”

You can find more jewelry in our Helsinki gallery.
