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.

  • Warped Space : University for the creative arts, Canterbury 2010.

    Warped Space., a photo by Russell Moreton on Flickr. Pinhole Photography used to investigate spatial relations of both the “concrete” and the “temporal” as they coalesce into a image marking the sequence/event of exposure.
