Held in the Interval
Measures of Return
This chapter considers structure as an exchange rather than a constraint. Simple forms—squares, circles, grids—are repeated, tested, and marked, registering energy as it moves back and forth across a surface. The work recalls early acts of drawing: black crayon on newsprint, shapes learned through pressure and repetition before refinement or color intervened. What appears analytical also carries memory and disorder. These measures do not seek elegance; they establish a relational grammar, where simplicity holds weight and form becomes a site of reciprocal contact.
