Resting close

Description

Softness abounds on this ceramic artwork with lines etched into the clay along with the lettering, A soft bronze coloured glaze was added for its second firing, between the lines that swoop across the clay.

The poem, by Chris, reads

Resting close

Breath misting me

Sweet like new grass

Shaped around these bones

You come and stay a while

And me

I cry

Like the small thing

That I never stopped being

This skin scraped sore

From falling

I know my need

For you

The artwork measures 29.5cm x 35cm ans 4.5cm deep.
