Contingency

con·​tin·​gen·​cy | \ kən-ˈtin-jən(t)-sē \
plural contingencies

(1) Angle that a straight line forms with a curve that it touches (Contingence in French). Whether it is a pencil or a thread drawing, it oscillates between the form and the formless. The geometric pattern meets the chaotic interlacing. These dimensions generate and superimpose one another in the assemblies. (2) An event that may but is not certain to occur. Through repeats and returns, the various paper proposals shape a hint of what could be.
