I pile up fibres thinly <strong>and</strong> make partially transparent<br />
cloth with minute holes in it.<br />
That is the fragile membrane which is barely<br />
formed.<br />
The surfaces have a lot of holes <strong>and</strong> are partially<br />
transparent, as you can see.<br />
One could say the materials are both paper <strong>and</strong><br />
cloth.<br />
Whenever we put a fibre it displaces the air<br />
that was there before.<br />
I wonder where the air has gone.<br />
The fibre <strong>and</strong> the volume of air it displaces are<br />
exactly the same.<br />
And the holes in the membrane allow air to<br />
pass within <strong>and</strong> through the piece.<br />
The holes connect here <strong>and</strong> there. The membrane<br />
contains air.<br />
I’m looking at the state that lies in the situation<br />
between ‘‘being’’ <strong>and</strong> ‘‘nothingness’’.<br />
