Sensing Places : Towards an Alchemy of Thinking

By Russell Moreton 2025

Sensing Places : Towards an Alchemy of Thinking.

This site based exploratory apparatus, part self assembly, and part crafted brings together components, materials and filtered light. Built around the involvement of making in the landscape, this event based intervention creates a fictional space articulated through the alchemy of built spaces that merge the poetic with the tectonic.

Material Matters : Architectural/Perceptual/Sensing Phenomena.
Correspondences, Human Bodies/Spatial Bodies.
Reflections/Movements/Environments/Landscapes

Using site as a research instrument, a compounded object of self assembly, and crafted components, materials and substances. A sculptural intervention, event based merging the poetic with the tectonic.

Apparatus/Device/Model.

Sensing composition, situating a site for speculative inquiry.

An exploratory and site specific installation that can open up our interior world to the proximity of both the situation of a natural environment and the experience of a conceptually made object/space that facilitates a sense of wonder, resulting in  an alchemy between these two realms of experience.

Art works constantly to  brokers these relations within us.
