tion is more (about) this surprise element.” Agnes says she uses the simple shapes and lines in different and unexpected contexts to spark a sense of curiosity in her designs. After more than 25 years making jewelry, Agnes is exploring new ideas and possibly a new direction. She has always dreamed of learning how to weld. As she moves forward, the designer wants to create pieces that express something very specific. While she will continue to create jewelry, Agnes says she’s excited to explore a more abstract form of art, to have an idea and to put that idea into very simple lines. Taking a step in a new direction can be intimidating, if not scary, for many. Agnes, though, is embracing it head on, attributing her excitement to her love for the craft. “I think when you are young, you ask yourself, ‘Can I do this for the next 40 years and not be bored?’ Right now, I like what I do even more than when I started.”
Drawing Inspiration Inspiration can come from anywhere. For Agnes Seebass, nature, lines, and unique forms are often the center of her work. But according to her, other designers have also played a large role in her evolution as an artist. Those artists are Zarina, Jesus Rafael Soto, Constance DeJong, and Donald Judd.
