about
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.
