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.

Social Space, is dynamic space, things happen, and its production continues over time and hence it is not fixed to/by a single moment of completion.

Performative Collages : Dualities of agency and structure, linked but separately identifiable conditions or proposals.
Agents are neither completely free as individuals, nor are they completely entrapped by structure. They are negotiators of existing conditions in order to partially reform them.
Spaces are charged with the dynamics of power, empowerment, interaction, isolation, control, freedom, alienation.
Social space is intractably political space, in so much as people live out their lives in this space.
