BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, On Not Finishing

Rebecca Stott reflects on unfinished projects.

In lockdown with her daughters, Rebecca Stott ponders the meaning of projects that we may never complete.

"I’ve been thinking about projects left unfinished," writes Rebecca Stott.  " I’ve got the pages of two unfinished novels on my hard-drive, and a pile of sewing projects, seams pinned, pins rusting, in my sewing basket."

With the help of Leonardo da Vinci, "a notorious non-finisher," Rebecca ponders the meaning of our imperfect and incomplete projects.  

Producer: Adele Armstrong
