Re-visiting the proposal : Making at Raveningham/Building on the lightest of things

Dwelling. Up, across and along relations in the landscape.

Giving Sensation Place.

An Education Of Attention.

Creative Curriculum Making.

Developing a creative inquiry and its presentation through generative art based methodologies.

Re-imagining learning through site based education, art practices and philosophy.

Installing a creative practice as a 'place driven site' for subjective experience, gathering things and personal inquiry from which to present 'findings' into the social environment.

For Tim Ingold, life is the very process wherein forms are generated and held in place.

And dwelling means that the forms people build, whether in the imagination or on the ground arise within the current of their involved activity in the specific relational contexts of their practical engagement with their surroundings.

Raveningham Sculpture Trail 2023

Russell Moreton.

Making and working in drawings, diagrams and constructions that are habitable environments.

Speculative Cosmic Garden and Sculptural Array for Solargraphy.

Interested in revisiting an earlier project that I created at Kilquhanity (A Pathway Between Sunrise and Sunset), in which I mapped out transits and movements of the sun onto the landscape through demarcated pathways and intersections. I propose then to add to these ground markings an apparatus or array to hold small can cameras pointing skyward to record the movement of the sun over the duration of the Sculpture Trail.  

Using the phenomena of light as both a conceptual and practical framework requires a mixture of pinhole cameras, contact photograms and shadow sticks that will demarcate lines and arcs, that will in turn create overlapping territories onto the landscape. The array construction will act in counterpoint to the landmarks, a fixed arrangement looking perpetually skyward.
