Clayworks/Gildengate : Dispersals/Movements/Gestures of Investigative Thinking.

By  Russell Moreton 2024 - 2025

The Poetry of The Vessel.

A calm invitation to thought and imagination.

The vessel (making, thinking, subject) as both a historically grounded form, and a vehicle to examine abstract aspects of the physical body and the natural world.

Chris Tyler

Makers work in a world that does not stand still

Iteration allows for continual correction (material conversation) in response to an ongoing perceptual monitoring of the task as it unfolds, mixing the potential for blending or combining matter that already exists into new combinations

Tim Ingold 2010

The Studio Space

Gildengate a clay and ceramic based inquiry containing painterly and spatial engagements of processual and transactive artforms. 

Objects, speculatively made in response through investigative spatial practices.

Processual practices, thoughts and actions and the making and inhabitation of interior domestic spatial sites.

Ceramic forms derived from a material inquiry of both a spatial object and my former studio space at Outpost, Norwich.
