Notes: The endearing, tragicomic figures of Swedish artist Joakim Ojanen express familiar emotions in peculiar ways. The edition's title references 'Lillördag,' a phrase meaning 'little Saturday' which has come to be used as an alternative name for Wednesday in Sweden — referencing a cultural trend for treating the day as a mini weekend in the middle of the working week.
Each work is individually hand blown, with differing thicknesses of glass. As a result, the colors vary between each piece, making each work unique. For best effect, we recommend placing the sculpture in a well lit room.
