Full Description
This book collects a year-long exchange of messages between the letter-cutter Lida Lopes Cardozo Kindersley, and the literature scholar Marcus Waithe. Beginning in August 2020, it coincided with the isolation brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Being 'in touch' across those months acquired a new significance. Shut off from outward stimulus, it proved a time for refocusing, when the fundamentals could be discussed and new thoughts tested: about the nature of making, but also about the stages of its journey through the mind. The preceding chapters develop their shape, accordingly, around the life of a stone inscription - and the life of those cutting or commissioning it - from first inception to final fixing and sharing.
