WELLINGTON — HOUR BY HOUR
06:00 — clear, no cloud recorded. Linen holds steady under glass light.
09:00 — clear. Grid unmarked. Wind light from the strait; needle undisturbed on the table.
11:40 — outlook unchanged for the eleventh consecutive hour.
12:15 — sudden localized convection at the centre. Marigold and rust rising fast, tightly wound, thread fraying loose like smoke off a struck match.
12:19 — event subsiding. Ultramarine spool cooling by the hoop's edge.
13:00 onward — clearing. Field returns to bare ecru. Barometric pressure of the day: flat, cold, exact.
OUTLOOK: more of the same, with isolated eruptions.
a circular workshop-room built like the inside of an embroidery hoop, its curved linen wall stretched drum-tight around the viewer, one flare of stitched colour marking noon on an otherwise blank clock-face of a day
