This piece, hollow, formed by coiling on my lap is a response to the poetry of John Burnside from his collection The Good Neighbour. The movement of friendships and the blur of colour they enrich life with is as much drawn into as pushed from the hole. This in turn invites touch and sight to explore through and seek the other side.
