A process of thoughts in relationship with a set of substances and objects, e.g. frozen peas, steel rafters, heating element, leaves, polythene sheeting, snow…
“… the house was warm, a carpet on the floor, wall to wall, colours of autumn. Went collecting bags of leaves, fermenting gently in the plastic. Saw a halloween character in the bank, he raised his eyebrows sharply, to scare the kids, and to sell them trick or treats. … Got a sack of coal. When I lit the barbeque the first time, it didn’t work, however much I blew. Realised I didn’t know how to light a fire. Used charcoal briquettes and petrol sometimes. Glowing coals, end results.”
