Art by Irene Naested & Music by ‘The Fragments’

Before the C.D. was launched Irene and eight other artists re-interpreted the songs visually. We had several exhibitions and performances on these. David Martin ‘leader of the band’ gave Irene permission to put her art and their music into videos. Some of the images will be included in two of Irene’s upcoming books ‘Light as it Falls’ and ‘Art-Making; A Companion in Solitude’.
