A poem constructed through process, derived from notes on drawings below.
Crossbedding, a layer between
Referencing the undulation of the landscape
A steel structure to respond to
A wavelength turned into an environmental score
Layers fluttering together
Like something washed up from the sea
Rule is: needs to be connected at 3 points, water, wind, earth
To create volume
Drawing lines through space, for form to follow
Histories converging into a point
Wind driven waves on the sea
Billowing
Layers in time and space, capturing, holding
A transition zone
Mediating conversation and exchange
Creating an experience for the environment
To be present in the space and open to its sensibilities
Bring energy into the space, life, flow, materiality of the earth
Illustrate forces of weathering and erosion
You can see the ocean
A quiet place where the fort can meet the sea
And speak about their histories and futures
Erode histories, deposit truths, a layering of strata
Bursting outward, plunging into the ground
Exposing and exploring materiality
Sails from various times but one place
Bursts of energy, absorbed by the fort
Finding the space between
To the wall, to the sea
Nets to capture wind and time
A moment for the earth
A fabric folding and unfolding
A mesh of sensibilities
Remnants of sail language
Coexisting, crossing and connecting points
A woven structure system
Organic attachment, decided by a skeleton
A water informed landscape
To make the fort permeable to the ocean
To reveal the preservation of time and the inability to hold
Stretching through time and space
Sound and water
A non place
Wrapping and unravelling
An Undulation of waves
Passing of time
Material becomes more material
