One sunflower seed per completed day since #AiWeiwei #aiww was detained in China. 24 days in captivity, very nearly 25. (He was seized at 8:04 am April 3, local time Beijing via @Platea.) It’s not my intention to lessen the impact of the # of seeds representing each hour that has since passed. I lose track of the hours, I can’t comprehend them. The number of international, national, and personal news items happening this winter & spring has been a series of destabilizing waves, and as I’ve said before, I have felt suspended in my observation and helplessness. This jar has been hanging in my studio for about two years. It seemed to be waiting for this.
