"So what is it about the place where the edges of the city meet the sky? I think part of it is the fact that I just love the sky. As kids we'd often lay on our backs and just watch the clouds pass by. I guess I never really grew out of it. Of course these days I never make time to actually locate a nice patch of grass and lay down. It's always stolen glances as I'm hurrying between one place and another." annette loudon "skyline - the strangest distance between points" tom williams "always it was the same building under the same sky, with the tapeloop tedium of the tiresome ten tremors that shook my street rippling along it's length." chris caines "Sitting on the window ledge, waiting for cool evening to come, I grow less spacious. I grow older and contract. Losing the connection." janan saylor "each building holds up the sky" tom williams "buildings reach upward, sky bears down, the line is formed" annette loudon "I was alive in my dream ... that loved the sky ... and I thought then ... in the starry darkness ... that the sky ... was the most I had ... in common with the earth ... and I would move alone ... within it and let the clouds ... swirl below my knees." janan saylor "your job, should you forget is to examine the joins between ceiling and sky make notes and get back to me." chris caines "I recently saw a photo of people rebuilding a neighbourhood of San Francisco after the big 'quake in 1906. I realized that if we could see the skyline as a time-lapse movie shot over the decades it would seem to be as alive as the sky it frames. Always changing, rising and subsiding, slowly crumbling in one place, and shooting up to pierce the clouds in another." annette loudon "Jets come and go like sliding doors closing, the rubbing sound of air and metal." janan saylor
