Elegy

Vivien Atkinson

7 June – 28 June 2026

2026, Tracing paper, graphite stick, wire, adhesive, fishing line

Yet ev'n these bones from insult to protect, 

         Some frail memorial still erected nigh, 

With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck'd, 

         Implores the passing tribute of a sigh. 


Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard
