Correspondences~Relational Fields : Other Affordances : Analogous Experience~Clay~Thinking

Clay~Making : The Analogous Atmosphere of  Experience.
Clay+Ceramic : Immersed in a self entertaining relational field.
Clay Based Practices : Ecologies~Things Emerging in Relation.

Asking how making is a thinking in its own right, what else that thinking can do?
Erin Manning. 

Poetics of Spatial~Small Gestures
For Bachelard : Reverberations~Conduits between philosophy~poetic writing relations of human and spatial bodies.
The artwork featured in the image is titled "Apparatuses: A Litany of Echoes~Resonances" by the visual artist Russell Moreton. 
Artist's Practice: Russell Moreton is a visual fine artist who explores themes surrounding "making," architectural space, and the interplay of materials like clay to demarcate and construct environments.
Materiality: His work frequently investigates the imprint of the artist and the metaphysical, immersive nature of his chosen media, often utilizing processes that evoke construction and the physical manipulation of materials.
Architectural Inspiration: Moreton is notably drawn to the solitudes of libraries and the sounds of construction, often using his practice to engage with the concept of architecture as tranquility.

The Poetics of Space : The house, from cellar to garret. The significance of the hut.
"He will revive the primitivity and the specificity of the fears. In our civilization, which has the same light everywhere, and puts electricity in its cellars, we no longer go to the cellar carrying a candle. But the unconscious cannot be civilized. It takes a candle when it goes to the cellar."
Gaston Bachelard.

 
"All religions, nearly all philosophies, and even a part of science testify to the unwearying heroic effort of mankind desperately denying its contingency."
Jacques Monod,
The Human/Straw Dogs, John Gray.







AI Overview
This artwork is a sculptural assemblage by Russell Moreton, featuring ceramic vessels and forms. 
The work explores themes of reverberation, innerness, and volume through a processual approach to clay. 
Moreton's practice investigates the interconnection of making interior spaces, demarcating and folding material into spatial forms. 
These pieces are described as 'extreme atmospheres' or 'fired clay labyrinths,' utilizing textural surfaces and industrial-like perforations

Light And The Genius Loci
For Derrida, the sun not only marks the beginning of metaphoricity but it is also an inescapable reminder of the solar system and oscillations, hidings and occultrations, inherent in 'a certain history of the relationships; earth/sun inthe system of perception'.

Mutations Of Light

Light's Windows And Rooms
Passing towards the Invisible.
The prospect of some metaphysical realm beyond the blue end of the spectrum and beyond material things illuminated to carnal sight, was a recurrent  theme in William Henry Fox Talbot's early speculations.

BROUGHT TO LIGHT
PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE INVISIBLE 1840-1900

Sight Unseen
Picturing The Universe
Corey Keller
Invisible objects, penciled by nature's own hand.
In his introduction to the exhibition catalogue Iconoclash: Beyond the Image Wars in Science, Religion, and Art, the historian of science Bruno Latour argues that scientific pictures are powerfully affective because they more than mere images; they are, as he puts it, the 'world itself'.

The Social
Photographic Eye
Jennifer Tucker
Nineteenth century science was characterized by both the appeal to visual evidence and the need for confirmation by the testimony of eyewitnesses. The latter explains why scientists pursued public viewings of their photographs by means of illustrated slide lectures, exhibitions, and reproduction in newspapers and magazines.
An understanding of the social boundaries of nineteenth century science helps make sense of a certain paradox within contemporary attitudes towards photography of the invisible. The ideal of mechanical objectivity in documenting visual knowledge demanded the elimination of the artist-observer and all of the subjectivity implicit in drawing by hand.

The Camera Obscura and its Subject
Above all it indicates the appearance of a new model of subjectivity, the hegemony of a new subject-effect. First of all the camera obscura performs an operation of individuation; that is, it necessarily defines an observer as isolated, enclosed, and autonomous within its dark confines. It impels a kind of askesis, or withdrawal from the world, in order to regulate and purify one's relation to the manifold contents of the now 'exterior' world.

Matter is provisional and that includes me. If the physics is correct then we are neither alive or dead as we commonly understand it, but in different states of potentiality.

Weathering Experience with Fired Clay : A Lined Surface~Making Feelings

"Memory records an insignificant minuscule particle of the past."

Coiling Over.

Tim Ingold.


How things can offer themselves to one another on the inside. How they can join 'with' rather than join 'up' in sympathy rather than articulation.

Its surface is textured, like a veil, by dint of its long endurance of the atmospheric elements. That is its weathering, a lined surface that greets the digits of the archaeologists hands, and joins them in the movement of (making) feeling.
