4, 2023.


On Drawing, haptic resonances are felt, registered via the pencil and the different asperities of the drawing body. Marks made, and their markings subsumed into the drawings unfolding causality.

Concepts for making with clay.

Clay : Making for the hospitality of the body.



Throwing, form made from the solid unformed centre of the clay lump.

Making volumes/innerness from solid unformed material.

Throwing is manifested/made actual by opening up the space for the imagination previously contained/constrained by the mass of clay. 


Turning, form further modified by the machining/carving into the thrown vessel.

Making volumes by the excavation, the removal of material complicit to its original form.

Turning is mastered/referenced by the rim and the internal volume of the pot/bowl/vessel.


Vessels/Crucibles

The circumference, volume and surface that correspond with/into the clay vessel.

Body, Forms, Interiors. Volumes.

The Intermingling of Material and Place.

Clay, a material of human inscriptions, volumes and surfaces, a silence worn down, abraded by time.

Researching Bodies/Discursive Collages : Theoretical Objects/Desiring Machines/Diversions/Anomalies/Contradictions

 

OUTPOST STUDIO 3.16












Sensations in Space and Time (the experience/entanglement of phenomena and idea)

Agency/Foraging/Making/Gathering

Subjectivity is relational (always in process)

A Species of Making Spaces

Tentativeness, attentive to situatedness



A diffractive methodology enables a critical rethinking of science and the social in their relationality, moving beyond separate entities, separate sets of concern.

Karen Barad



Organism

Person

Environment



For Merleau-Ponty, Experience can only be understood between the mind and the body or across them in their lived conjunction.



The mind is always embodied, always based on corporeal and sensory relations.

Elizabeth Grosz.

Actions to Relate to Oneself, 1967-1967

Translucent aesthetics, beyond the opacities of the sensible the rational.


An image that adequately expresses both the efficacy and the temporariness of the phenomena ( joining a diffused/invisible flow of energy, a breadth that wends its way ceaselessly through the world). Animating it as it goes.

What is a body capable of -

Spinoza

One conceives and reads a building in terms of sequences, both phenomenological and filmic, reading a space by its depth of field, its thickness.
