Peter Bauhuis’ exhibition VESSELS & HEADS opens Saturday 27 April, 3–5pm at Gallery Funaki.

Funaki Gallery presents new works from acclaimed German maker Peter Bauhuis. These new works comprise vessels and jewellery that examine states of being both physical and metaphorical, from the confluences of metal alloys to the shifting play of dubious archaeological narratives that underpin Bauhuis’s ideas.

The exhibition is part of Melbourne Design Week.
