Hopefully a good home will be found for Mirandas Jewelled Comets and my Reconstructed bowl. Here's the poster for the show and some blurb about the pieces we are showing and two short biogs.

Jewelled Comet by Miranda Cleary Corcoran is from her 2003 collection called Embellishment and consists of Velvet encrusted with Gold, Beads and Paint in a chunky wooden frame. More details www.mirandasart.com
