Russell Moreton : Experiments with materials.
Part of a series of speculative drawings with objects, interested in bringing these elements into architectural forms and surfaces, maybe textures. Recent reading of “Natural History” which documents the exhibition “Archaeology of the mind ” which centres around the architectural practice of Herzog and de Meuron has prompted me to reflect on their comment
“Our models and experiments with material are not works of art, but rather a kind of accumulated waste”

Immateriality : Presence.

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 the earth. A single day spent charting the suns shadow through an architectural space-frame on the lawn at Kilquhanity resulted in a “pathway between sunrise to sunset”.
Back to free school:Drawing out the archive was a week long residential project that took place between the 9th and the 17th of April 2011 in Galloway,Scotland. The site for the project was Kilquhanity, one of the original free schools established in the UK by John Aitkenhead in the 1940’s.
The project aims to open up opportunities for different approaches, practices and areas of interest. These might include exploring concepts of the archive through the project’s free school “methodology”, examining ideas of free school through Kilquhanity’s particular history and/or engaging with the site itself as a concrete history or archive.
