Permeable Chambers~Interiority understood through the surfacing of research, matter(s) between clay~ceramic~and beyond







"It is precisely where the reach of the imagination meets the friction of materials, or where the forces of ambition rub up against the rough edges of the world, that human life is lived"

The Sighted Watchmaker : Making, Tim Ingold .2013
Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and Architecture.


Chambers for Surfaced Readings, Russell Moreton, Ceramics. 2025

Clay is always a depth for correspondences, simultaneously surfacing as a landing site~becoming.

Figure/Foreground/Afterimage : Drawing


In drawing the moments of choice have been kept visible.
John Berger, Berger On Drawing.

A drawing is essentially a private work, related only to the artists own needs.

Drawing registers the transforming effects of the imagination and the memory.
Drawings are images of flux; flux both imaginative and physical.

Drawing is a verb.
There is no way to make a drawing-there is only drawing.
Richard Serra

The Drawing Book
Tania Kovats

Drawing is something where you have  a really direct-immediate relationship with the material. You make a mark, and then you make another mark in relation to that mark.
Kiki Smith

The Body
Rodin's lines dont just represent carnality; they are themselves carnal, invasive, sexy. Uninterrupted by the space between the material and the body; the line made by the drawing hand stands in for other haptic things. The body is where drawing begins and where it ends.

Looking at images does not lead us to the truth, it leads us into temptation.

AFTERIMAGE : Drawing Through Process
Cornelia H. Butler


Rather than regarding life-drawing as an event of realism, it may be more productive to
explore it as an assemblage of events, a field of practices, or as a cluster of performances.
