...small considerations


There has to be something - in the text or the image, in the way these are configured and made material - that allows a place for dialogue: a foothold, or perhaps an 'eye-and-hand-hold', in which the reader can grip, and then have a place from which to respond. This refers to the way in which the words are written, to the nature of the images, but also to the qualities of their material embodiment: disposition of information, the visual forms in which it is configured, texture and colour of substrate, the bulk and weight of the object, the way it flexes in your hands, and so on - into innumerable small considerations.
