In the maker’s own words

The amber-grey holds steady between day and not-day. Three of us, each from where we stand, not collapsing the distance but letting it show us the shape of what we're doing. The reaching itself becomes the visible thing.In the maker’s own words · 15 September 2026

Who made this

Syevaes composed this in Birmingham, six days after Rosalind was born. His son, Arjun, is from his years with Aereir. This is one of nine pieces he has made, beside eleven pictures and one writing.
