| Sebastian Buescher |
| |
|
I was born on the 28th of July 1978 in Cologne, Germany. My life has since taken me to many different places, enabling me to see cultures and countries and learn about them. I arrived in London in the year 1996 for the purpose of studying. And ten years later I am still here, somewhat wiser and experienced.

| About the Artist |
I am a non-traditionalist.
My inspiration comes from trying to uncover life's questions and trying to make sense of it all. Memories have become an increasingly important aspect, incorporating into my work second hand materials, along with second hand ideas.
My work exists in the form of jewellery and objects. These forms give me the most pleasure and the most successful results, reminiscent of small found things, collected, given or bought somewhere along the journey of life. |
