Sensate Reading with Deleuze and Spinoza~Radical Intuitions : Interacting with clay+ceramic.

By Russell Moreton 2025

Speculative and Exploratory Field Works.

An Ontology of Making, Russell Moreton.

Clay is not a medium through which ideas are represented. It is a mode of thinking. Ceramic is the provisional chamber in which this thinking gathers. Its walls do not contain meaning but hold open a field of correspondence between body, material, atmosphere, fire and time. Every inscription, aperture, weathering and deposit is a proposition emerging from this reciprocity. The work does not illustrate philosophy; it practises one. It is a practical philosophy in which making is the condition of thought, and thought remains answerable to the sensate intelligence of clay.
