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.

    As part of my residency I undertook to turn the space of a pottery into a “Camera (room) Obscura”. In this space I exposed directly the view gathered from “outside” onto photographic paper as a collage of interwoven documents. The cyanotype printing process was employed in  field-studies using the sun to recording the movement of…
