Created in direct conversation with its partner series of painted works, Sonnet 116, these ceramic “conversation pieces” are a reflection on the role words have within relationships. These works are open to reconfiguration, and hence alternative readings – a nod to the “democratic” practice of Richard Killeen.(1)
