what does science look like?
repetitive actions repeated
the space between
to be repeatable
controlled and recreated
noisy like air
evidence of activity
building a set of rules
intentions and actions
thinking outside thinking
tools for thinking
balancing always balancing
imagined spaces
a space of possibilities
assumed knowledge
presenting evidence
controlled spaces controlled
optimisation is compelling
in stillness and silence
potential for revelation
nano folk-law
tools for the mind and hand
thinking through making
limitations are important
making the invisible visible
created spaces controlled
grasp an understanding
make science
of something dimensionless
defiantly transitional
a block of knowledge
potential for revelation
the ritual of work
interesting not interesting
object making
things that are true
spaces are created
engagement with rules
measuring forces

thinking about possibilities
