[experiment in scale and linearity, object to site translation]

The writer’s retreat, a found rock scaled to a one acre island, translates the linear form into a sequence of destinations for the writer. From each stop he witnesses his surroundings from a different vantage point, culminating in the panopticon tower that allows for observation of the entire archipelago.
