November 2024: As the cold nights drew in and the first sprinkling of snow lay on the ground, I returned to an idea I first had whilst making the recent work for the @agakhancentregallery as part of the ‘Constellations – Seeds to Stars’ series… and I was reminded of this beautiful Matsuo Basho Haiku.
Thanks as always to Tom Jordan for helping me develop this. Ultimately, I intend to make the finished piece out of grey granite and white marble.
