Artists in the City: Liesbet Bussche

Things to consider: element of surprise; variety scale

Liesbet Bussche is a Belgian designer who creates public art out of jewelry. I find this interesting because public art is almost impersonal, while jewelry is usually so intimate.

I also really enjoy how her work is almost unexpected. It reminds me of an eye spy game or where’s waldo. This element of surprise makes the work even more compelling, as it draws viewers into the work.

Another thing I have found to be so interesting in Bussche’s work is the element of scale. Normally jewelry is such an intricate and small thing, but increasing the size makes it so compelling because the viewers get to enjoy the experience of jewelry in a new way.
