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. Visual artist working in the UK. UCA Farnham, Interior Design MA. Canterbury School of Architecture, Spatial Practices MA.

Walking into Emergent Landscapes : Covehithe Beach

The OLD WAYS, a JOURNEY ON FOOT, Robert Macfarlane

“ Walking was a means of personal myth-making, but it also shaped his everyday longings:

Edward Thomas not only thought on paths and of them, but also with them.”

“To Thomas, paths connected real places but they also led out-wards to metaphysics, backwards to history and inward to the self. These traverses- between the conceptual, the spectral and the personal-occur often without signage in his writing, and are among its most characteristic events. He imagined himself in topographical terms.”
