‘Sometime around 2020, Eugene Skeef invited Geraldine Walsh to engage with him in a creative quest. It was at the beginning of Covid lockdown. They exchanged poetry and artwork via distanced digital communications. The project creatively manifested arms and legs. ‘Dream of my grandmother’ was one of the many poems that came out of Eugene’s prolific verse. Then, using their collaboration, he also involved one of Ed Epstein’s music creations, adding to a creative conversation’.
