broken glass of mirrors doesn’t threaten these bodies

Human sacrifice

jolting between different realties

Is the awkwardness intentional?

Across a table, I’m generously handed a roll of geologically hacked sellotape from a Jiffy bag

monumental sculpture, hairy, contracted into a standardised industrial form, unspooling in curves, spilling its multiple decompressing contents on a  h o r i z o n t a l surface

Where are the edges? – it’s

up to the artist to set the limits (they can change) 

Joëlle Tuerlinckx can teach us here

maybe metal would help?

pearlescent pink

nothing ‘natural’ here

leaves of rock

scale collapsed

Pay attention to kinds of time

crushed cornflakes bring right up to the moment, immediacy of care, hunger, need

Nimble movements from loom to rock face, across selves, mediums, multiple demands domestic and artistic

Heavy source material handled so lightly

art anti-gravity

‘Supernatural confidence’

and now, lunch.
