Summary: In brief I tried to express some thoughts about monumental masons (the guys who carve head stones) I imagined 'memory peel' being the bits of stone left over after inscribing words a kind of blue print of the dead person. I did not deal with it very well to be honest. However I like the idea. I hope this one is a bit easier to relate to. I may work on this one It feels incomplete and a bit vague.
