Sweden-born artist Gunilla Andersson, whose photograph features on the cover of poet Kevin”s latest book, has made jewellery – brooches, earrings, and necklaces – featuring lines from Kevin’s poems.
This jewellery is now on sale, with 100% of the proceeds going to Galway Cope Homeless Services.
Gunilla says:
“I met Kevin at a poetry reading in a wine cellar in Galway late 90s when I was spending a summer working with Macnas, preparing for the Arts Festival. We have been friends ever since and somehow now was the time for a collaboration. He needed a cover picture for his latest poetry bundle and I suggested randomly adding his words to my pictures, printing them out, and cutting them up to see what happened. This jewelry is the result.”
