Space
“Space is the feeding ground, playing field, church, and graveyard for our relationship with the world.”
Space tells its own story, whether we mean it to or not. It can provoke intimacy or distance, amplify power or erase it, hold safety or danger, all without a single line of dialogue. In this chapter, you’ll investigate how space shapes meaning—not just through size or placement, but through proximity, absence, architecture, and the histories it holds. You’ll learn to treat space not as the container for your work, but as an active material that can disrupt, provoke, and transform.

“What would happen if you treated space as a living partner in your work, with its own needs, desires, and history?”
