Your description below is excellent; the only thing, I also work w/
cameras in 3d of course, and there are many ways to set things - I think
it's more than a technological artifact, at least for a viewer...
Alan, and thanks

Alan,
Thinking today, I realized that a great deal of what you refer to as
womb-like space, is actually a function of where I like to place the camera
in the virtual landscape. In radically close field of view perspectives, that
function as wide-angle zooms, the landscape distorts, like a fish-eye lens.
The sky, mountains, and terrain disfigure and focus around the central
object, in this case, a "cairn" of balanced rocks. I am most comfortable in
these types of tactile, illusory spaces. I like the implication of
speed/searching/recognition/focus/acuity. My thought is that given the
ambiguous text of the poem, text that is hidden/obscured/secreted, the reader
must rely on visual clues in the image and title for meaning and context. The
title is a line from the starting poem; the poem contents are mapped into the
forms of the landscape, instilling language with plasticity points to the
"soundlessness" of the spoken word. The visual then becomes the spoken poem.

of course - n-dimensional, hyperbolic, negative, jagged, multiply-
connected topologies, etc. I know what you mean, but kinda don't agree -
