Sediment is a substance whose property can have very different sources – from natural to synthetic to supernatural – from material to spiritual to cosmic.
The formation of a sludge is part of a process that in itself – also does not have to have the characteristics of a material – it can exist on a mental, linguistic, philosophical level.
As such, it also has its own essential characteristics – it grows and disperses, accumulates and at the same time bears witness to decay.
It is a phenomenon that is as ephemeral as it is tangible, but in its substantiality – very impermanent.
However, the layers of sediment can already form a monolith, merge and integrate. Thus, the sediment is an unrecognized and unrecognizable trace or from traces built material. It is a sign that the form is receding, forming a kind of formless clearance.
Sediment: Of many possible gradations, formed from countless particles, soluble and permeable. Live.
