Love like you have no brain.

The wonderful Martha of Mink has designed this beautiful pin as a marker of Eoin's 10th anniversary this year, and as a fundraising endeavour for the Scholarship.

The line, "Love like you have no brain", comes from Eoin's poem "A young man deliberates on love and what to do with it". Is this terrible advice?! It keeps resonating either way.

The design of the pin and accompanying card is inspired by Eoin's notebooks. The pin font is based on his handwriting and the shape suggests a torn piece of paper. Eoin's signature is included on the front and back of the pin. The card includes scanned passages from his notebooks, arranged to evoke the exploratory, experimental and generative nature of Eoin's writing process.

We imagine supporters of the scholarship recognising each other by the unusual shape of the pin and the lovely glint of light on the different textural surfaces.

These various actions of remembrance are always bittersweet. An amount of heartache arises as we connect with the grief in a new way. We are so happy to have these pins available, to remember Eoin and to connect with each other. We thank Martha for all her work in making these happen and look forward to seeing them in the wild.

​As always, all proceeds from the pin go to the scholarship, which is entirely self-funded. We hope to keep it going for as long as possible. Shipping costs applied at checkout.
