BETWEENITY

 

My book ‘All in Nothing | Nothing in All’ (2020) invited me to explore space. The space within all, the space that is the birthplace of all that was, is, will be.

 

What is the form of the formless?  

The immaterial, the ephemeral, the void, the birthplace of all that is, the field of infinite possibilities, the unified field, ether, or just space.

 

What does the clay want to be? 

I shaped by intuition, stepping deep into the unknown. A field pregnant with possibilities. A path paved with questions, and only by doing a being immersed.

 

The clay wanted to become a pebble.

The book wanted to be an empty page.

The porcelain wanted to be unfired.

The foam press-in molds were perfect as they are.

 

The form of the formless is found in, and around, all forms.

There is a hole in everything, that is where the soul is living.
