Added line 10:

A collection of different sizes of pliers is lined up on a shelf. Each pair of pliers stands on its legs with its gripping jaws opened at fixed widths of 1 cm or 1.5 cm. While the pliers, meant to hold or clamp objects, hold nothing in this installation, they serve as frames for these measured spaces, otherwise an expanse of anonymously blank or empty space. The uniform widths are the common denominator for the different pliers. Each pair of pliers is handled and set in place at an angle that structurally incorporates the fixed measure of blank space. This technique illustrates how a uniform facet creates variety when the implements used differ in size or length. While the jaws all open to the same width, the effort arms (the handles) of the lever open to a variety of widths. Adjusting the pivot angle to achieve a uniform width becomes a practice of ‘creating a uniform space’ that creates a series of variable correspondent measures.\\

Changed line 39 from:

Handling some pliers which I gathered for an exhibition, without holding any object in between the lower and upper gripping jaws, I maintain the state of their head section; I keep the width (distance) between the lower and upper jaws fixed, such as 1cm or 1.5cm, so they are like 'measurable figures' instead of anonymous 'blank, 'empty spaces'.\\

Deleted lines 40-41:

I also line them up on a shelf of an art exhibition space. The uniform 'width,' becomes almost like a common denominator in many kinds of pliers.\\
Every plier that I manipulate, structurally includes the unified empty/blank space in their body.\\

Deleted lines 41-45:

Also, this technique brings us opposite views at the same time.
I would say that every plier that I manipulate, happens to create un-unified/different multiple 'widths', which are the 'un-unified empty/blank spaces in its body', on the other side of the jaws between the levers (the edge of the levers side of the pliers) which create a unified width.
\\
By the pivot angle, by gripping - opening/closing the levers, I practice 'creating space' in a flamed realm which has a mobile, flexible mechanism.\\
