Lost Coordinates II

Lost coordinates:

Where untold stories bleed

into images beyond words

Where unheard sounds

of the spectral field become

entangled

The Surface is a Zone of Encounter (An Assemblage)

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.

Time of the Vanishing ( )

That time of day in December when the last flicker of light gives way to shadow and smothering darkness

The sea a dark mirror, pulling down the sky

Around about the Winter Solstice – 2015

through the longest night

city lights nod

to the solstice moon

with a turning of the sun, weak

but stronger,

the eternal return

of expanding light

New beginnings, or

slow endings?

Sun warmed, stories

in the stones, record

new chapters, of
