A Circle in a Straight Line

A great many dichotomies are cleared away if we are only to keep in mind that the things that outwardly affect us are simultaneously being effected upon by us. It is once we forget about this reciprocity of experience and focus on just one aspect of the relationship that things appear to be “fixed” and defined. A flattened cube exists in a latent state of becoming this familiar object, its six simultaneously observable sides having the potential to meet in a way that will create either the interior, if folded one way, or the exterior, if folded the other way, of that cube. It was this reference to simultaneity and double sidedness that led me to using these forms.
