About

When a line bends around and crosses itself, a loop is what you have. Too loose, and you have a mere curve. Too tangled, and you have a knot. There’s room in a loop for play and change – it’s a connection but not a conclusion.

[Justin Paton in Julia Morrison: A Loop Around a Loop]

Strange Loops was written for Stroma, with funding from Creative New Zealand.
