Here is to all Absent Friends. The pair were an experiment for a 50th wedding anniversary commission and their shared heart is a nod to John Donne’s: ‘My true love hath my heart and I have his,’ I wanted them to have a sense of the worn beauty of an illuminated manuscript. So Happy Christmas, Good Yule, Happy Holidays and to all the Absent Friends of 2020, wishing everyone warm, safe and well
