walking / writing / between world and word
I think that light makes material space … light is really the primary form of our habitation and makes surfaces come to life.
The surface holds what we project into it. It is an active site of exchange between subject and object.

The point at which surface folds
New ecological imaginaries
Ambivalence of the non-human world
When the colour & texture of the sky triggers a memory of James Turrell in the Museu Colecção Berardo, Lisbon.
Dream:
High sun burns over thin snow. The very last snowball harvest.
New languages of underfoot
Spectrum edge
Light cuts
Interiors of darkness
Draped, infolding

Out of darkness
a huddle of shadows
settle to stillness

From the silence
quiet violence
of a whispered judgement
