Water and Rock

18 October 2008
Broadmoore Audubon Sanctuary, Natick Massachusetts:

Water and Rock. The interplay of two fluids. One, a material that is able to flow at a time scale that we can interact with. The other, a thicker material that flows at such a slow rate that it would take centuries of careful observation to be able to perceive its movement.

At this scale we can touch the movement of one and believe in the solidity of the other. But if we examined both of these substances at some atomic level we would not be able to determine a difference between them. Both would move at terrible speeds. Both would seem a cloud of motion and of indeterminate location.
