In the bedroom above her studio at Burntcoat, the celebrated sculptor Edith Harkness is making final preparations - her life is drawing to an end. Downstairs, the studio is a crucible glowing with memories and desire. It was here, when the first lockdown came, that she brought Halit. The lover she barely knew. A presence from another culture. A doorway into a new and feverish world. A vital examination of how and why we make art, form relationships, build a life.
