TEXT PIECE

To belong is to have a place – to be located, situated, included, to be part of. The erratic boulder is temporarily held within a glaciated environment until moved by the action of gravity and deposited elsewhere. It is a material mass carried in and out of unsettled and mobile spaces. The erratic object neither belongs physically to its origin nor geologically in its new location. It is missing from the mountain movement that created it, and found in the gravitational situation that receives it. This formation of geomorphic activity simultaneously had a place, has a place and is a place. The erratic then is a behaviour found in an action, a performance, and circumstance of motion; and, a quality located in an object subject to forces.
