  1. Cut a Möbius strip down the middle. Expecting two pieces, you get one, longer, with twice as many twists. The more you try to separate knowing from making – theory from practice, template from floor – the more surface there is to walk.

  2. July 2024. A terrace in Istria. Tiles half-laid, some already fixed, a template that doesn't match the floor, an unanswered voice call from Brussels. 480 limestone pieces, CNC-cut from a shape proven mathematically a few months before. One constraint: no tile can be flipped.

    Three months, a long hot summer to find out if the pattern held.

  4. What if weaving had kept its memory for weather and weight? What if code was written live? Electronics exposed?

    Developed through studio visits with @thentrythis in Sheffield and Cornwall last autumn, three new texts from FoAM's Anarchive trace technology's minor paths and forgotten possibilities.
