Can imitation gold give as much pleasure as gold won from a rock? Åsa Jungnelius is interested in what is thought of as genuine or false, in how the value of an object is created and who decides what factors will be used to determine that value? Frequently, Jungnelius uses stereotypically charged objects as her model or point of reference in order to puncture or draw attention to their conventional significance. Åsa produces her objects using everything from traditional glassmaking techniques to a more hobby-based approach. Jungnelius’ handicraft examines aesthetic hierarchies, shifts in values, bling, fashion, shopping and the social construction of gender roles.
