Lam de Wolf (sounds a lot like "lamb the wolf") is a Dutch artist (not just jeweler) born in 1949. Her work includes architecturally inspired work like the one above right which uses the repetition of shapes to create massive wall images.

She produces work that have multiple functions. Wall hangings that become hats or parasols. Others can be worn as neck pieces (top left image). She also works using an array of materials and media. From wire, to cloth, japanese paper, popsicle sticks and film.

Speaking of films, while researching her work online I found one minute films that involve wall exhibits along with performing art... check the http://urbanscreensart.net/m62r3...Ever2-theoneminutes.

She also has a web site lamdewolf.nl which displays lots of her wall art and textile art. Most of her textiles are wearable pieces.

Most of the work reflects an interest in geometric forms and letters. The wall exhibits, although made of "random" simple materials, seem to form intricate yet not heavy looking geometric, repetitive patterns.

From what I found on the net, her work is quite artistic a creative. The functional component appears to be secondary, although clearly considered when designed.
