Author's comments, or abstract – Integrating a Path is an essay in which I reflect on my artistic practice in the form of notes and diary-like reflections. I introduce how the accumulation of work (as artwork-ing, notetaking, and affective memories and sensations) can be structured through the concept of dead reckoning, and be used to navigate the complexities of the work in my studio. The notes in the essay deal with ideas such as the horizon, navigation, remembrance, Donald Winnicot's potential space, grounding, Amitav Ghosh's definition of recognition, and a first attempt at thinking about moths.
