Making Ecological Politics
A world teeming with impulsive movements, deviations and many other lively (capacious) materialities.
Influences that pervade, enable, and disrupt us.

Makers work in a world that does not stand still
Iteration allows for continual correction (material conversation) in response to an ongoing perceptual monitoring of the task as it unfolds, mixing the potential for blending or combining matter that already exists into new combinations
Tim Ingold 2010
Making speaks in vivid dialogue with two associated themes, material and skill
Creativity involves not merely a spark of innovation or the execution of artistic inspiration. But the capacity to respond to unfolding iterations with materials. To use slowly accrued haptic knowledge to manipulate processes on the fly, and to judge how to counteract error and seize opportunities as they evolve
Making becomes a process of iteration, and a maker works with this iteration prolifically Geographies of Making
ReThinking Materials and Skills for Volatile Futures
The skill to sustain the life of something through repair and reappropriation
Collecting is an example or a pre-emptive activity that people who are skilled with their hands commonly share
Matter and materials are lively and require attention, materials continue to thwart in unpredictable ways, decaying and breaking down or wearing or breaking under force
Vibrant Matter, A Political Ecology of Things Jane Bennett 2010
Attending to the process of making opens up prospects for following the lead of the material, where the properties of the materials themselves shape the direction in which making proceeds

New Urban Adventures in Collaboration/Conceptual Ceramics
Ceramic Practice as a form of research engaged in a process/ecology of inquiry, an exploration of ideas predicated on and exploiting the characteristics of clay
The transformation of the material is a central concern and semiotic significance unfolds with making Seeking a symbiotic relationship between idea and object
Materials are substances in becoming Karen Barad
Towards an Ecology of Materials Tim Ingold 2012
From the 'objectness' of things to the material flows and formative processes wherein they come into being. It means to think of making as a process of growth or ontogenesis
Materials-Centered Perspective Making, almost defies precise definition
The composition and/or manipulation of materials that bring into being new or revised objects Tim Ingold 2010
Cultures of thrift and scavenging, maintenance and repair
Making encompasses the ingenuity of fluid, locally situated and adapted technologies
