Skin inspires me, it holds so much in it that keeps on fascinating and surprising me.
For me skin forms the basis of life itself. I find it a terrible shame that after death the human skin perishes, I guess this is where the interest in conserving skin comes from, I want to keep it, conserve it,...In my work I look for ways and shapes to do this, I ask questions on the origin, conditions and functionality of skin, what place or status it takes in our lives.
These are big questions that don't come with clear-cut answers. Still I go looking for them, in the emotional as well as the scientific, which generates a duality. This duality shows itself in my work, when I see skin function as a boundary, a frontier between inside and outside, life and death, attractive and repulsive,...
It's my life's work to map every inch of skin I find and draw out my vision of it, with every piece of work I try to light up one aspect to make it visible, sensible,eternal...
Amber Veel quit her job as a nurse to follow a late calling, ART academy. She first discovered the universe of skin through a medical eye, before she started seeing it as an emotional and aesthetic organ.
She intends to continue her skin-research, slowly but surely mapping every piece.
Her work comes in all different shapes and prices, be sure to take a look in the shop.

Louise Te Poele
Louise te Poele 1984, lives and works in Arnhem. Louise is a photographer-artist who tries to capture a story from a close angle. The paintings of Louise are actually self-portraits.
As a kid an untidy room was what made her happy, little animals, smelly old flowers, clutter and mess.
The objects were precious to her and she made 'impossible' things out of them. She carefully builds up compositions in her studio.
When everything is in the right place she takes a picture which is used to digitally draw the same composition. The appearance of the work lies somewhere between a 17th century still life and a modern picture.
She combines the old and the new, technology and tradition and therefor appealed to us. Her work was a real discovery, very renewing in subject and technique.

Leen Boden
In a way Leen and the jewelry she creates seem very similar, they make you suspect a process of strong focus, technique, silence and discipline.
On the other hand the jewelry speaks for itself, with its in-your-face aesthetics and harmonious proportions and choice of material.
While Leen doesn't really talk all that much, there is this silent, peaceful modesty around her that is both comforting and confronting.
It's clear she communicates through her work in a very authentic way.
We can only cheer for that.
For 2 months she will offer a bracelet on Postuum, custom made and exclusively available in the online store.
This gives you the time to get to know her while we are planning a joint venture behind the scenes.
Don't worry we will provide the occasional sneak peek.

Sold?
As you might notice a lot of the items in store are already sold.
Well, the thing is...
that the techniques we use take time and the material isn't always easy to find.
This means that a lot of the objects on the site were made on demand.
But look at it on the bright side, It also means that you can order something, and it will be a pièce unique.
So, I suggest you look around, enjoy the aesthetics, read the stories, and send me a message if you have a question or you would like to order something that is sold out.

Annelies Desmet-Wiesbauer
I'm actually the owner and founder of Postuum.
One of the reasons I created this label was to give my own work a place to live and be seen.
I studied Jewelry design, philosphy and got involved in the art and world of taxidermy. Somehow these 3 facets always return in the creative proces.
What I love most is to go into dialogue with other artists and disciplines so new synergies can arise from these encounters.
The written word will always carry out my preference, but I am easily touched by beauty of all kinds.
