"The relief becomes an image of the world as it comes into existence. The relief as the point between image and space. The moment when the figure breaks free of the surface and gains its own independent life. When geological contours divide and become land-masses, which in turn change. Or when we make a decision about who we want to be as human beings."

Further investigating visual matters and related semiotics, Sam Renseiw inconspicuously recorded the in-depth flatness of surface, confined.

On the morphology of seeing

"Consciousness is in itself an act, the human act. It is a lively, full act. Even if the action which follows, which ought to have followed or should have followed, remains in suspense, the consciousness-as-act is still completely positive or kinetic. In the present voodle we shall study this act only in the realm of movement and more precisely yet in poetic visual language when the imagining consciousness creates and lives the poetic image. Adding to voodle, creating from voodle, stabilizing and loving voodles, are all activities where the consciousness of seeing is increased."

Continuing his investigations on matter and memory in voodles, Sam Renseiw paraphrases Bachelard and extends the voodle-verite to pure, moving matter-of-fact.

"There are two ways to conceive of the voodle of the real: the first is to pretend that you can present reality to be seen; the second is to pose the problem of reality. In the same way, there were two ways to conceive voodle-vérité. The first was to pretend that you brought truth. The second was to pose the problem of truth."

Further dabbling with voodle definitions, Sam Renseiw indulged in sounding a short visual reveille for the voodle-verite genre.
