Times between the preparing and the opening day…

The first day I started with the exhibition, it was a nice sunny spring day… on the backside of the gallery it was a lovely inner yard… I took a coffee with my friend Janina at Haga Bion, I was so tired after a full day working with the exhibition… I add some opening cards at Haga Bion at the same time… On my way home I passed a window with a “crazy” installation in it… A big woman and a small man…

preparing the exhibition…













Preparing the exhibition…

It’s three parts, one wall with photos, jewelleries on body, one wall with branch and bird necklace/objects and the third part is an island of 9 opened showcases with plastic grass on…
You can touch the jewelleries, but not take them away from the showcase, I have stitch them into the plastic grass…

I want to create a light feeling, to have a lot of space in this show room; I also want to create a happy/funny/colourful feeling… All the material that I use has nice colourful colours…

I working with my jewelleries as unisex jewelleries, I think that everyone who likes them also can wear them…

It’s a hard work to prepare n exhibition and for some days it was too little sleep, just spinning around figure it out; what’s the best way to do it etc.

Lucky I have two friends helping me with some of it! Thank you; Therese and Janina!
