I am absorbed by the movement of air ventilation turbines, the postures of whirlybird maple seeds traveling through time and space, the circular motions embedded in the threading of threaded rod, and the fastening of wing nuts. The fixtures used in construction that are designed for accessible readjustment enthrall me.

I am observing how these observations manifest a dot-to-dot interface that reflects what I naturally look at, as a way to try to understand the spaces in which I am immersed – the acknowledgment of the stone beneath my feet and the embodiment of my body and the sky. 

I thank the circumstances, the time and place for instigating the existence of an M80 scaled maple seed wing nut. Originally sited on the rooftop of the Exhibition Laboratory, Merimiehenkatu 36, 00150 Helsinki, seen from the stairwells of the parallel buildings in the inner courtyard.

It greets the chimneys, the emblems of the roofs, blurring and encapsulating the communication of interior and exterior, and the mechanical processes and motions created by the wind.

The maple wingnut catches hold of being, existing together with the rooftop neighborhoods and the passing of clouds.
