Haiku Triptych: Day by John Andrew

Green Westmorland slate

A three-panel work inscribed with Japanese haikus from the 17th century.

‘For me nature, and the senses we are blessed with, are celebrated perfectly in these short fragments. They call up worlds of enjoyment, sensual pleasure, love and history. I see the slates as prayer-stones to the gods of nature, that also speak of the importance of appreciating the present moment.’
