Admitting the Possibilities of Error - Tomorrow is another day 

Artist’s Book

Commissioned by artist Kirsten Lavers, this book accompanied her 2025 exhibition at the Alison Richard Building Cambridge.

The book was designed to hold her meditative drawings - reflections on recovery, perfection, and process. Using surgical inks and circular repetition, the drawings unfold as daily acts of healing. Poems by David Alderson and Clio Lloyd-Jacob deepen the dialogue around care, fallibility, and connection. 

Alderson was moved to write the poem after encountering early drawings from the Admitting the Possibilities of Error series and contacted Lavers to share his response. The book here emerged from that contact. Lloyd-Jacob is an arts practitioner and asked by Kirsten to contribute her response to Lavers’ work. The words and images, together, support a gentle sense of hope, something that connects all three creatives.

The book honours the drawing’s fragility, rhythm, and quiet resistance, opening up to the idea of admitting the possibilities of errors: allowing mistakes to open us up, rather than shut us down.
