Circular paper with painting of a snake's head and neck, looking to the right. Top of the head is black-green, fading to buff, with a band of black down the spine just visible, and patches of russet. Big brown eye.

It's a fascinating place with the huge railway arches. I spent some time at the uni there

Thanks Rebecca 😊

A page with a watercolour sketch attached. The page has holes along one edge, with a tangle of threads attached.
