Poetry Necklace
Limited availability.
We love-heart this simple piece!
Delicate and beautifully crafted emblazoned with charcoal-grey engravings with
an eye-catching scarlet drawstring tie.
Jewellery designed by Swedish artist, Gunilla
Andersson, inspired by the poetry of Galway 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.
About the artist: Gunilla Andersson was born in Sweden. Exploring art and
different techniques, she realized that theatre was the right direction for her
to pursue. She spent a lot of time in her 20s in the Kinnegad area of County
Westmeath, where she found her big love and worked as a waitress at Mother
Hubbards. She collaborated with a number of different theatre companies in Sweden,
later studying at Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. For the past 20 years
she has lived in Amsterdam where she has her own décor studio and works with
theatres, museums, on film and other arts events.
