Material Matters : When your mind starts moving.

Making : The Processual Character of Form.

Dwelling.

Rethinking the animate, re-animating thought.

Tim Ingold.








Ingold insists on a flat, continuous and processual ontology of dwelling and becoming.

A Practice of Transformational Modalities.

The Processual Character of Form.


 Organic life, as I envisage it, is active rather than reactive, the creative unfolding of an entire field of relations within which beings emerge and take on the forms they do, each in relation to the others. Life is the very process wherein forms are generated and held in place.


For Ingold, there is no environment without the folding and enmeshment that is the process of life. Organisms are not folded in on themselves and surrounded by an 'environment'. Instead organisms are points of growth of environment, and whose relations are rhizoidal; and the environment is better understood as a domain of entanglement.
