A SLICE OF STRIPED HORIZON: An exhibition of candlesticks, hand made by Lars Nilsson

It seems right to have candlesticks on show in Connolly this week... holders of light in a dark uncertain time. I met Lars on the island of Patmos and when he came to London after the summer and showed me these beautiful candlesticks he had created, both practical and exquisite, hand made from bronze, wool and oak... with sophisticated palettes of colour in the resin combinations; I was smitten. And today, I have come to realise that for me, they represent totems of hope, even the colours of Ukraine are reflected in some of the pieces.
