Circle, Spiral, Line

Parramatta: A Dictionary of Place and Memory - C

To sit in a circle with no shade.

 There is no spiral here, only concentric circles, smallest, small, each one growing out from the last.

 To sit in a circle is different to sitting in a line. The thoughts form themselves into round shapes.

 To arrange in lines is to have a before, present, and then after, every detail relative.

 We can sit together here and still have our own space.

Stone floor with separate tiles arranged in a circular pattern around a large concrete slab with etched markings.
