It began as a slice, a deconstruction, a surgical demolition as a means to recognize value within the building, and also as a means to open the building to its surrounding landscape. The idea of letting the landscape in became even more apparent once the cuts were made and the light and shadows entered the space. At 12:38pm, on 10/16/2020, the light and shadows were in line with the cuts, as if the things that have no physical materiality (the light and shadows) did the cutting and produced the void. There is a special moment between absence and presence, void and solid, dark and light. The light and shadows coax the viewer in, whereas the sky and surrounding context draw the viewer out.

​

12:38 the moment when

light and shadow

become physical

12:38 the moment

when absence is present

12:38 the moment

when the void is cut

12:38 a waiting,

a stillness, patience

endures and delayed

gratification enters the

light cut by the shadow

12:38 a moment of

recognition, a presence

of value on an

object discarded

12:38 a moment for

individual presence

12:38 a time out

of context

12:38 a moment that

is the context

12:38 take your time

question the

sky, allow the

landscape to enter

12:38 a moment to

sit within the

absence and yet

be fully present

12:38 a moment to itself

that will disappear

12:38 a time that will

continue through

memory
