“I often prefer the shapes within the raw materials to ‘do their thing’, as this makes it movre interesting for me. Sometimes a piece of hubcap fits in such a way that the shark becomes almost alive in my hands, climbing, twisting or just hanging motionless and predatory, and this gives me a buzz. It makes me feel like a vehicle for the creation process rather than a controller, and not knowing the exact outcome is exciting.” WayGivingFeelsSometimesHandsProcessInterestingKnowingPiecesAliveCreationMaterialsFitShapesExcitingGive MeOutcomesClimbingVehicleNot KnowingSharksBuzzRaw MaterialsPredatoryControllers Author:Ptolemy
“The heaven is spherical in shape, and moves as a sphere; the earth too is sensibly spherical in shape, when taken as a whole; in position it lies in the middle of the heavens very much like its center; in size and distance it has the ratio of a point to the sphere of the fixed stars; and it has no motion from place to place.” WholeEarthMovingLyingHeavenStarsTakenMiddlePositionShapesDistanceSizeAstronomyFixedSpheresCosmologyRatios Book:Ptolemy's Almagest Source: Ptolemy's Almagest
