seismographic images.

in order to understand the geological layers of the earth, seismic surveys are conducted by creating shock waves and interpreting their results. events and explosions induce undulations which reflect the subsurface formations, then recorded upon return to the surface. these images portray the layers of rock and sediment deposition, their anomalies being caused by pockets of hydrocarbons, ie oil or natural gas.

i have been attempting to understand the River and its influences. our desire as well as need to control it... authority as a perspectival point that actively impacts that which surrounds it. we seek to control our natural world precisely because we lack that control of our own lives.

so, the historical folding of the external world. a system that continuously reinforms the folding and unfolding of time and event. the idea that mother nature is restricted, the tension visible in the limitations placed on the body. articulation of the surfaces shifting and responding to one another. reacting to stresses. oscillations. restrictions. events. rebuilding the body on its own physical traces.
