apology . detail .. the base of the vase sits on a creamy yellow surface with white wall behind ... its rich colour is contrasted by a creamy white tag hanging down from the vase's side to the right .. this side of the tag is made from a page reclaimed from the book .. it is blank but for one word which has been collaged together from letters carefully cut from the book’s print .. the word rest near the base of the tag ... the letters: so.r.r.y

from the you that is me

apology attempts to transform a bunch of love poems into a sorry that was never said.

Lovingly handfolded from an award-winning poetry collection, the work explores conduct, artist rights, interconnectedness and empathetic exchange.

A reflection on relationships, a gesture composed from words that deserved to receive it.
