Bettina Speckner findet, was viele zu suchen vergessen haben.
Sie berührt etwas in uns, indem sie dem Wesentlichen in den Dingen so nahe kommt, wie man ihm nahe kommen kann.
Es bleibt ein Geheimnis.

"Looking at her work I felt I was being transported into another realm.
It is a world that is not only beautiful but sensitively irreverent. Speckner's brooches are precious and yet self-aware.
Along with Speckner I became an observer of myself."  (Tanel Veenre)
