To Touch a Screen, and the Meeting Gaze of Two Mallards. 2023

Landscape Under Towering Flower. 2023

Table setting and text.

A piece of space is framed, rhythmically sectioned and lit.

Separated from its surrounding.

Forming the stage.

Within the stage there is no past.

The scene stands lika a landscape.

The objects, like flowers of an inner garden.

The object is a vessel, which if filled with attention, becomes an extension of the one who hand themselves to it.

For it holds what it is given.

As the object is filled, a tone will arise within the listener, and the scene will form a chord.

As the scene unfolds, the border between it and the one who hears it disintegrates, and the listener unfolds with it.

To contemplate the withering sandcastle with Steinbeck’s inward-facing gaze. 2020
