I am a senior lecturer at Bath School of Art and Design and currently run the MA Ceramics course. My research agenda is based on the writing_making methods developed during my PhD project (Writing_Making: Object as body, language and material, RCA 2016). Having proposed skilled making as a particularly intimate engagement between body, space and material, the ongoing ‘problem’ lies in voicing this intimacy.
The process of making opens up modes of thinking, modes of engagement, that are not otherwise accessible. How might language open up the engagement to both maker and audience? How might engagement generate language?
