EXPLORATORY CLAY/CERAMIC BASED INQUIRY : Ceramics and Architecture.

 

EXPLORATORY CLAY/CERAMIC BASED INQUIRY  2023 Russell Moreton.

Working Title/Creative entanglements in a world of materials.

Ceramics for a reflective solitude, an architecture of silence. 

My intention is to develop further ceramic processes and forms that can be further articulated into specific site based objects. I am very interested in the spatial relationships and aesthetics of ceramics and their place in architectural settings. I wish to further develop my practical working knowledge, and a creative sensibility towards the haptic qualities of  making with clay and the unifying element of fire.

Studio program.

Clay bodies, making facilities, ceramic tests, development of simple forms on which to present ceramic experimentation. Analysis of findings, further developments from exploratory findings into new processes and ways of making. Sketchbooks, drawings and photography, text and collage.

Sensing Places : Towards an Alchemy of Thinking.

Sensing Places : Towards an Alchemy of Thinking.

This site based exploratory apparatus, part self assembly, and part crafted brings together components, materials and filtered light. Built around the involvement of making in the landscape, this event based intervention creates a fictional space articulated through the alchemy of built spaces that merge the poetic with the tectonic.

Dwelling Apparatuses, Heidegger.

WORKING NOTES

Developing relations on the specificity of a landscape and the weather.

Construction site, towards an alchemy of thinking and making space and the instants of the wonderous.

Some ways of thinking.

Processes enabling situations through strange constructions.

Diffractive apparatus of components, materials and filtered light.

Explorative, site specific and performative.

A fictive space articulated through the alchemy of light and water.

Sensing space, seating for a site of speculative inquiry.

Material Matters : Architectural/Perceptual/Sensing Phenomena.

Correspondences, Human Bodies/Spatial Bodies.

Reflections/Movements/Environments/Landscapes

Using site as a research instrument, a compounded object of self assembly, and crafted components, materials and substances. A sculptural intervention, event based merging the poetic with the tectonic.

Apparatus/Device/Model.

Sensing composition, situating a site for speculative inquiry.

An exploratory and site specific installation that can open up our interior world to the proximity of both the situation of a natural environment and the experience of a conceptually made object/space that facilitates a sense of wonder, resulting in  an alchemy between these two realms of experience.

Art works constantly to  brokers these relations within us.
