Gallery Funaki: heartbeads

September 5 to September 30, 2006

‘Upon Mari Funaki’s invitation to use half the gallery space to show some of my recent work I brought butterflies and beads to make a spring presentation.

I asked Mari if I could make a choice out of the work of other artists from the gallery drawers, to make the exhibition a whole instead of two halves.

I have chosen pieces that extend to some degree on my own works and on subjects like halves and doubles, singles and pairs, birds and beads and other jewellery classics. All of this of course much to my own pleasure, and hopefully also for many other Funaki fans to enjoy… ‘
