Jewellery designed by Swedish artist Gunilla Andersson, inspired by the poetry of Irish writer Kevin Higgins’ latest collection, The Colour Yellow & the Number 19: Negative Thoughts That Helped One Man Mostly Retain His Sanity During 2020. The jewellery was kindly donated by Kevin and Gunilla to ROPES 2021 as part of our fundraising efforts for COPE Galway.
