	A rock and a seagull in conversation // Sculpture. 2013 MDF 244 x 122 x 6 cm	The movement in thought, as it empties the air of weather is a question of materiality, weight and space unanswered. Taking the view of any opaque object, that part of its surface, which fronts the eye, is apt to occupy the mind alone and the opposite, and even every other part of it, is left unthought of at that time; and the least motion we make to reconsider any other side of the object.

These two sculptures are the result of the part about learning to paint clouds.

A copy of the roof on my dads house in scale 1:4. 15 cement foundation blocks, polished and waxed. A publication titled Decoration, placed on a shelf. Space understood as a grid of determinate positions. The practices enabled by the specialization of ground convert it into a foundation for change. It is the act of dispalcement of the commonalitys, the known.The act of displacing or the state of being displaced, the disruption. This thinking about building does not presume to discover architectural ideas, let alone to give rules for building. This venture in thought does not view building as an art or as a technique of construction; rather it traces building back into that domain to which everything that is belongs.

Removed all of the screws from the wood and stacked it with the tools on the right hand side.
