A drop of rain on the window will likely fall through a route made by a previous drop. I can try to wet the whole window for a different degree of freedom. ‘Portrait of a tree’ is a text and photo taken during one of my morning walks.

Tracing the line, a moment of discovery appeared as I understood that Blueprint Double Agent; split film, Eagle, 2017, selected for New Contemporaries, had the same underlying structure of question and movement as calculus. Questions of frame, limits, transformations and identity seem to become closer to a mathematician’s work. Sometimes a tree can make a point.

Euclid defined a point as ‘that which has no part.’ I try to position myself with that in mind. At some point you can look at two trees and see the inner tree - the one growing in the negative space between them.

A lake is a mode of suspension. I threw a coin in the air and jumped in the water. I thought ‘you become what you touch’ and non-movement is what I wanted.

I collected a bit of that lake and mixed it with plaster in the studio. The plaster and the water hold each other. Now that I have this sculpture I can say - it is a good idea to have a suspended lake in your living room.

If you want to get from A to B you can walk. Wouldn’t it be finer, though, to fold-out the distance in-between? A—-----B

The floor removed itself, and I was standing on B.

Tom was pushing an ice cube through his cheek, into his mouth. I opened my hand and counted; three coins.
