*1///  Thinking I wanted 

*2/// Looking at clouds 

*3///  Chasing cars 

*4/// My mother always told me only dumb people get bored 

 

 meandering as a practice

 

there is no greater pleasure 

 

getting lost  makes the eyes grow wider.

 

feel that all encounters are chance

 

The world is big to see it all.

was it just for me >>>>

 

joy, or insight, or pleasure

 

reminding me I was here, still

For her show with Goldfinch, Noël Morical pivots from her hallmark knotting to chance new processes and expands her material palette. 

 

This exhibition is an embodiment of slow observation,  a possibility of some things happening. Events in the absence of any obvious design. Once the dice are thrown there is something to see, something to hear, something to experience.
