Thought Experiments: navigations in time, light + space: the liminal is a mysterious realm much like the body, with associated fascinations and fears. On a metaphoric level Fear of the Deep and Fear of the Body trigger similar visceral reactions; places where psychological shadows lurk, an opportunities exist to engage the Other. These dredgings from underwater/on the flux line/reflected on the shifting surface of water are both metaphoric and real, made strange by light + perspective.

The Essence
The bamboo shadows are sweeping the stairs,
Buy no dust is stirred:
The moonlight penetrates deep in the bottom of the pool,
But no trace is left in the water.
