I came to Can Serrat from the south west of Ireland with more than a little apprehension. There was no need to worry. This place and it´s people opened their arms and my heart just sang. Two companions came with me on this adventure, a book of Sufi poetry from 12th century and the colour gold.
I brought gold paint of every description and scribbled two lines of poetry on the studio wall.
¨Stones are longing for what you know¨

“They call on you to sing” Hafiz
“Your hear beats inside a sacred drum” Hafiz
“The hidden choir” Hafiz
“Your soul once sat on an easel on my knee. For ages I have been sketching you.”
