Poppy Jones-Little: What is a ‘lump’?
With a focus upon ‘lumps’, Poppy hopes to draw your attention to words which might slip in without clear intention. She states “‘Lump’ reminds me just how crucial deep and active listening is – the importance of distinguishing something from nothing, of being hyperaware not only of sound or speech but the noise which surrounds it. I think it is essential to pick apart words or phrases that we use in passing, and consider what we are really paying reference to.”
