About Theresa Schuker

Theresa Schuker is a jewellery and object designer who graduated with her final project MEDIATING BODIES from the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf. In her work she questions conventional boundaries and is interested in transforming the non-precious into something precious. Essential to her work is the idea of appreciating existing objects through recycling. Everyday objects are disassembled, before they will be put together individually to create a non existing new form.
