The upper images are from watercolour, oil pastel, graphite and layered collage, 2021<\/p>\n

The lower images are from watercolour, oil pastel, graphite and collage, 2019<\/p>\n

These images will be the verso and recto pages of the book\u00a0proceeds in the garden\u00a0to be published in Spring 2022.<\/p>\n

The text across ix reads:<\/p>\n

the look suggested thoughts had passed elsewhere, returning to the wheel from the\u00a0first<\/span>
\na\u00a0flat slick of water gives way to a muddy strandline at low tide<\/span><\/p>\n

The text across xi reads:<\/p>\n

the harmony between these two, their tenderness and care, their love, so wonderstruck<\/span>
\nthe adsorption toxins cling to spongy materials that spawn new pollution<\/span><\/p>\n

The text across xvi reads:<\/p>\n

an object that is still present but becoming less recognisable by the day<\/span>
\ntime with its pinking shears sawtoothed instead of straight will circle you<\/span><\/p>\n
