Bitten by Finland – Three International Takes on Our Nature
21.07.-30.09. 2023
Three experienced European jewelry artists, Ralph Bakker, Monika Brugger, and Terhi Tolvanen, all share a significant, experience-based connection to Finnish nature. For Finns, the local nature may be even taken for granted, but what does inspiration from nature experiences generate or sprout in the expression of a skilled jewelry artist?
We had the pleasure to host Ralph Bakker at the exhibition opening in Helsinki on 21 July in what is the first exhibition in Finland featuring his works here despite Ralph having visited Villinki, an island in Helsinki, in twenty summers.
On the Night of the Arts in Helsinki, 17 August 2023, Monika Brugger is present at the gallery, ready to embroider a chronobroche brooch with dark red beads onto your favorite garment's seam in exchange for a compensation based on the time she works. → Learn more
