ROUND OBJECTS TO THROW THROUGH hollowed HOOPS
[the basis of circulatory flow]
“When thinking of museums I think of paths to museums and paths back again after the experience, our minds often flooded with the objects we take in our heads. These places need hollow halls at the top and open platforms to the sky…”
Across the causeway towards the rock that sits in the middle of the sea we walk. I turn to my friend and say that if the tide was in our heads would be submerged in water – to this she replied we would need weights attached to our ankles to walk still on the path. This is true. Once at the rock she collected round objects and arranged them on the beach. To what affect I am not so sure, perhaps to make an order of things.
At the top of the rock we climbed there stood a house built on top of another house to rest from the wind – it was no lighthouse simply a watchtower with winding stairs and hollow halls. It was very ordered in its architecture and at the top a platform jetted out into the stream of open sky. There we stood and watched the disappearance of the path aforementioned. The tide had swallowed its rock pools, swelled back to the shore, and we were fully surrounded by the waters below. The sun was loosing itself over the hills in the distance and we had naught to burn for warmth or for light. The halls were hollow.
If the tide was in our heads it would most likely be in our bellies and in our lungs. We’d be flooded with the tide.
If the tide was in our heads would like to be above the brim of the water’s edge so as not to freeze: so as not to have the tide in our bellies and in our lungs. We would avoid being flooded with the tide.
We risk having the tide in our heads and use the round collected objects on the rock’s beach, put them in our socks and weight ourselves down. We then walk the path together holding our breath until the shore.
