Spawned from my interest in sensory action upon the body and aesthetic encounter as a physical interaction ‘A concrescent order of celestial bodies that do not know their own purpose’ relies on the performance of its material relationships. Anthropologist Tim Ingolds recent collection of essays on Creation, Attention and Correspondence ‘Imagining for Real’ particularly his reference to theoretical physicist David Bohms work on alternative orders of relations ‘Wholeness and the Implicate Order (1980)’ have been influential in the making of this work and my broader studio practice.

 

In considering the order and performance of how things join together, be it as an assemblage of elements externally in contact or from an internal enfolding of particles and forces, I wonder where one can draw the line between inside and outside, edge or surface, intimacy and distance or the transformative potential of matter and time encased in an object.
