A note on : National Gallery Late commission I 2025

Really special are these events with the National Gallery. It was meself, friend and brilliant writer Eley Williams, and two wonderful young student poets from Kingston Uni - Sinnead Singson and Bella Weerasinghe - who did themselves proud, in front of their extremely gracious and proud families. We had a huge crowd again, three figures plus, and it just works really well as a format, walking and talking to the paintings and so much of that is down to curator Joseph Kendra and our wonderhost Fiona Alderton. I wrote new poem, as for the past 7 events, this time on Rembrandt’s ecce homo and Cornelis van Haarlem’s dragon munch painting.
