You Are Here Jewelry
September 10th, 2007
Design: Anneke Van Bommel
Manufacturer: Anneke Van Bommel
Date: 2007
These works explore an “idea” of Canada, and allude to the souvenir. The desire to take a “piece” of a place home with us and to somehow
authenticate a journey is a shared one. Anneke Van Bommel explores forms and symbols of heroes and villains inspired by Canadian history
high school text books, maps, tourism brochures, and postcards.

impishly clever. betrays a subtly layered humor dipped in irony.
lovely. (artist-to-artist)
p.s. what size are these? what materials? or ‘purely’ metaphoric?
—- I’ve been a fan ever since I discovered the antler rings!
