Abandoned and collected objects are combined with felt, beeswax, honey and lead in Larkin’s artworks offering themselves up as intimate poetry of love, longing and loss. Chairs, ladders, crutches, hot-water bottles, violins and beds, can be seen to stretch, slump, climb, smell of cloves, wrap themselves in the warmth of felt or emit the sound of bees.
