From 2005 to 2010 she lived in China and from 2010 to 2014 she has lived in India. These long “residencies” have occurred being the wife of a Swiss Diplomat. Both countries, China and India with strong cultural identities have in their own way fed new ideas into Brinkmann’s timeless yet contemporary forms.

In India, Brinkmann worked with a master craftsman who is an expert in traditional inlay work found in traditional Indian Jewellery. Kamal meenakar and Brinkmann exchanged ideas of colour, which she incorporated into her existing forms.

Renewable Pleasures: The India Chapter marks the end of her four years expedition in India at Chemould Prescott Road. Her upcoming participation will be at Multiple Exposures, Museum of Art and design, New York later this year.
