Amber Veel
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.

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.

Joke de Wilde
We just love the paradox that Joke embodies...
She refuses to work digital, but her pictures are so pretty almost like paintings, as if she photoshopped the whole thing afterwards.
To us Joke is a storyteller, first class. Her pictures are slow and sometimes so soft you want to touch them.
She is the housephotographer for POSTUUM, like us she also wants to preserve and create aesthetics.
A very good match, bound to give birth to some pretty images, hilarious afternoon tea and hard working.
She is a hyperbusy lady, working for TheWord magazine, Stieglitz Gallery and still makes time for us, for sitting, doing nothing and watching giraffes from her appartement window next to the Antwerp zoo.
