Introduction

I enter my studio.
Amidst the flashing lights of a firetruck.
I sit on the floor to cut some paper.
The school is flooding.
I assemble the pieces and place them in the correct position.
My phone captures my steps into the puddle that has formed in the lobby.
The overlapping surfaces comment on each other.
It’s the third time within six months I’m relocating my studio.
The awkward shape forces me to continue.
The insurance company asks: “For whom have you made these works – yourself or for sale?“
