Become interested in the packaging of any object. The packaging surrounds the object. Inside the packaging is a layer of air, wrapping and confining the object. Outside the packaging more air wraps around. These air pockets separate the object from everything else. The interior space begs to be played in. These exercises, this writing, these musings revolve all around these layers of space.



We have a chance to see things differently when we play. The space becomes a medium that we have at our finger tips to explore. As the vast machinery of perception kicks in and the movement begins, we have an opportunity to glance at the potential role the space between things plays. It can buffer the object or become so minimal to almost not exist at all. It can become wide. Suddenly we can navigate this space and pass through the brick wall and come out on the street outside where we sense we stand all along.
