I find myself being ambiguous.
Intuitive assemblings
queer handlings
collectings
sourcing
getting lost,
fluid finds
improvisational and make up as I go along
refindings
I’m a fan of water
river
floor
bath
Watery attempts
at elsewheres
Sightings,
writings
sitengs
sittings
citings
losing my way
playing along
following feathers
Shying away
shying towards
Attempting timings
transistories
climatising myselves
Privately public
