To me, 'goe', is an expression of movement, of wind and water or maybe even the meeting of the two.
My workspace is on the side of a beautiful dam and daily I watch swallows dart, spin and wheel, catching their dinner or delicately - while barely disturbing the surface of the water - swoop to drink; leaving behind a tiny punctuation of ripples. I've often wished I could see the sharp lines carved by a swallow swooping through the air. I can't, so instead I try to express the gesture in basalt.
