Making is the production of relations through material events. What I think is emerging is an ontology of making. The clay isn’t the subject. The object isn’t the outcome. Even process isn’t the central concern. The central concern is relation. Relation between body and matter. Relation between force and resistance. Relation between object and space. Relation between time and form. Relation between making and knowing. Visual artist working in the UK. UCA Farnham, Interior Design MA. Canterbury School of Architecture, Spatial Practices MA.

“An installation of numerous large and small fragments of Styrofoam, like an explosion in moments.The installation shows the transient form of an object at a turning point between being and non-being – something you can not live normally.I held a moment in time.This moment of transition between existence and non-existence has, for me, a Buddhist background.

.

The perception of time is variable.The explosion will stop the normal flow, rips a hole in time.The explosion is not lost the form, but the time has been lost.

.

At the end of life may have been intended, the idea of ​​impermanence, the perception and life seems short and vain, just like a moment.This is a core concept in Buddhist philosophy, referred to by the installation in an ironic way, respect.” – Source
