This is the second part of the work, the chaff or carvings out from the clay tablets. They were as much Juana's name as the cuneiform incisions I thought. I have wanted in this work to suggest something about the precious and irreplaceable. Here's what I came up with.

Beautiful concept. To me it says that what we leave behind is as precious and important as what we physically are. It's fascinating seeing this poem/artwork emerging.
It's very moving, Jen, because you've made it (literally) tangible.
Really enjoyed your reading and conversation in Dumfries this week. I liked what you said about the role of speech in poetry, it really is the human voice, isn't it?
Should say Dave B seems thrilled with his limpet... Jean x
