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.

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.

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.

Mappings and Leylines/Hyde 900/2012 : Spatial Practices,experimental drawing with alternative photography.

Leylines: St Bartholomew’s Church and Hyde Gate/Chamber. Winchester SO23 7DF. www.hyde900.org

“Leylines” has been appropriated and employed as both a practical and as a conceptual strategy to inquiry into places and localities. Site visits and sensitive dialogues with the other artists at a number of locations have further brought materials and processes into the creative realm. The spatial practice of setting-up this work has also produced insightful local knowledge from those dwelling nearby.

Beams and Netting: Negotiations in the chamber.

Clay, Hessian, drawings and transparencies from architectural openings, drawing frame, antique glass, lead and nylon lines.

This intervention into a listed building has become a temporary refuge for a work in progress. The work attempts to show a creative agency as it encounters a host of installed hierarchies and conditions. The architectural motif on the drawings has been derived directly from the open apertures of the chamber, and these drawings also reference the supportive ironwork (Ferramenta) which has been playfully re-registered as a graphic leyline . A drawing frame similar to that used in archaeology for drawing has been adapted to illustrate the relative positions of the leyline as registered by the ordnance survey grid, both terminuses being labelled on the frames periphery.

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.
