Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Sidsel Dorph-Jensen studied at the Konstfack University of Arts, Stockholm and the Royal College of Art, London. On graduation she was the recipient of the Goldsmiths’ Company’s Young Designer Silversmith Award for her design for a chalice and paten, now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Dorph-Jensen established her first studio in the UK in 2003, working as a silversmithing tutor at Bishopsland Workshops and a visiting tutor at Hastings College. She returned to her native Denmark in 2007, spending three years in a workshop with Lone Løvschal (b.1976) before establishing her current studio in Aarhus in 2011. Jensen has developed an original approach to domestic hollowware, drawing on long-standing traditions of European silversmithing as well as her interest in the pleasure given by handmade objects in contemporary life. Her work has always made resourceful use of precious metal, as in this elegant bowl, but her most recent creations have moved towards directly refashioning discarded metal objects using her skills as a traditional silversmith. Sidsel Dorph-Jensen: ‘Silver fascinates me, because it plays an important part in special moments in our lives. It has the power to make us appreciate those moments through its history and qualities as a material.’
