Week 4: Gravity, Gluts, Pennies, Pillows and Ray 6pm 14 January – 5.59pm 18 February 2021 on MattFlix

This week: Pillows, 2020 - present

Pillows is a piece of writing I started in April 2020 after being treated for Covid-19 at home in March of the same year. It is the name I gave my flat, which at the time felt like a sanctuary, a place of refuge, protection and care, that I imagined extending out into society in recognition of the right of every person to rest their head in safety and peace and to belong to the place they choose to sleep.
