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.

Russell Moreton, Spatial Practices: Space for Peace, Winchester Cathedral 2011

February 10, 2012

Space for Peace 2011, a set on Flickr. I use a combination of drawing/mapping processes to gain some sense of involvement with the place and its situation. I find these aerial tracings speak to me of a value beyond the confines of an architecture or a society. Russell Moreton, artists statement 2012 via russellmoreton.blogspot.com
