Wise Grid

Recently I had a wisdom tooth filled with silver. What are the vessels and measurements for wisdom? How do our bodies become tools for orientation within a space of the unknown? How do we traverse the meditative paths? I made an etching with a grid using the length of my filled wisdom tooth and marked the lines with finely spun silk thread spun by hand on my spinning wheel. The project required 3000 ft of two ply thread which I touched its entire length 9 times in the act of creating the mark on the plate. The etching of plate managed to capture the individual fibers of the silk, just 10 microns thick.
