Dovilė Bernadišiūtė

jewellery artist born in Vilnius, Lithuania, now living and working in Stockholm.

Dovilė Bernadišiūtė is a jewelry artist whose practice reflects on passages of transition intended for moving between places. Through a process of casting and imprinting interior and exterior surfaces, her work aims to create a link between the human body and space; giving objects the potential to function as mediators in everyday settings.
