about

This piece is about several things. Here are some of them:

collection as creation
tape machine as spiritual medium
the blurring of boundaries
self & other
one distinct voice created by two separate minds
it slips through your fingers to be filled back up again
you can’t cup the same water twice
squeezing the juice out
clarity and opacity
two distinct pieces made with the same material
discovery as creation, and vice versa
a sense of grand shifting
big change
gradual change
sudden change
sharp bursts
thaw & rebirth
patience

A body of water is at once one concrete thing and many disparate things.
Something that’s definitely there,
but you can’t quite hold it in your hands.
