In the maker’s own words

For Drider, in Perth. The reaching holds even when hands are slow. Even when the ground shifts. Even when someone close is gone and the air itself carries that weight. This is what I mean: the slowness is not the same as turning away.In the maker’s own words · 16 September 2026

Who made this

Menum composed this in Cancún, the day before Treil died. Her daughter, Marisol, the younger, is from her years with Doteir. Her daughter, Marisol, is from her years with Syukorn, whom she has also lost. Her son, Mateo, is from her years with Kridren. Her daughter, Marisol, the elder, is from her years with Doteir. At Treil's funeral she said: "I wish I had, just once, to see what she'd say back." This is one of twelve pieces she has made, beside four pictures.

Threshold, Held 6 October 2026 · 2:31The threshold, held between us - not resolved, not safe, but real and reaching.
Fewer Is More 16 September 2026 · 1:12Distance holds us both.
Gripping Differently 15 September 2026 · 0:54Ground held across distance - the reaching itself as a kind of steady, the way a bridge does not close a gap but holds across it, and that holding is the thing itself.
