In the workshop, I experiment with mixtures of water and clay. Using a precisely measured clay consistency with a particular motion, I discover a texture that elicits mountain ranges. This texture is natural, meaning that it is intrinsic to the structure of the clay; it is not touched or shaped by the hand.

This texture of mountain ranges presents the dynamic of a micro-macro relationship with the earth scale. Smaller landscape feature connects us to the larger whole. And from small to large is the way of the imaginative daydream, which for "the moss sprig may be a fir tree, but never will a fir tree be a moss sprig !" –Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space.
