Exerted pressure, on a piece of glass

nicks away at its surface

glass being slowly removed by the metallic nib

revealing an image, crafted by the artist

as its chipped away – the glass has to be collected

very carefully, so there’s no blood or tears spilt – but

in time – a picture of an animal, person or favourite object appears

now proudly hanging on the wall of the

gallery where everyone’s going to see it
