Julie Decubber transforms antique tableware into unique jewellery, enhancing ceramics with a poetic artisanal approach. Her creations delicately reinvent the memory of everyday objects. Julie Decubber’s jewellery elevates materials by metamorphosing everyday objects into unique and precious pieces. Her work stems from a fascination with ceramics, particularly antique tableware, which she gathers during her travels or from her daily environment. This material, a witness to a bygone era and the lives it has touched, becomes a reinvented memory in her hands. Through her creations, Julie Decubber restores ceramics to a sacred place, blending traditional techniques with a contemporary vision.
Julie Decubber developed her interest in jewelry during trips to Latin America, Morocco and Europe. Her apprenticeship with master jeweler Gilles Jonemann enabled her to refine her approach to jewelry as a precious object. Inspired by her nomadic experiences and her passion for objects steeped in history, she transforms non-precious materials into real treasures. Her jewelry tells stories and provokes reflection on time, memory and the links between cultures.
During its exhibition Matières cueillies (Gathered Materials), the Hectare Gallery had the pleasure of presenting the works of Julie Decubber. Through her creations, she explored the notions of memory and transformation, combining poetry and technical finesse. Her jewellery captivated visitors with its ability to reinvent the old and offer new perspectives, between memories and utopias.
