In the summer of 2012, I worked with Sophia Hao to edit a special edition of  & Labels (Issue 4: Duncan of Jordanstone) on the theme of Materiality and Metaphysics. As Sophia wrote, “in this pairing of what are commonly understood as antithetical terms, an ephemeral and subtle common ground is revealed, in which the world of matter is both illuminated and occluded by its continual encounter with the timeless action of thought and reflection.” The issue featured writing by critic Chris Jones, philosopher Joe Hughes, and artists Kraig Wilson, Lys Hansen and Viola Yeşiltaç.
