The photograph of your face through the Victoria glass would be a great cover for a new collection ??? Broken things yes I understand - but maybe because I understand I am a hater of broken things not so much shards of glasss / crockery but 'stuff' that breaks just has to go .. maybe living in a cluttered envoroment ... but therein lies many more stories too. Thanks for your post xx Merry Christmas x
I absolutely get this Clare. The cricket pitch behind us is built on an old tip and whenever they need to dig I cannot resist the fractured bottles and ceramics it sends to me. I feel like I’m holding someone else’s story in my hands.
I love that the woods gifted you Father Christmas this week!
And I love that you say every shard is beautiful. It’s true! All those lovely colours, brushstrokes, fragments of things someone once made to be treasured… precious things.
Beautiful post Clare, I'd love to know if there are any details available about yours and Kim's talk on Plath x
Gorgeous. Thank you. Glad to have found your Substack, a treasure in itself. 🩷
