Wayfaring Landscapes~Affective Aesthetics of Difference.

Wayfaring Places : Studio Compositions~Immersive Cells of Inquiry.

Studio Environments : Reconstructions and Fictions. Studio spaces for speculative making. Undisciplined small spaces, places of refuge and solitude. A physical space, where an atmosphere quietly echoes spatial metaphors of enclosure, interiority and the sited and situated condition of making.

Craft and Art : Skill and Anxiety.

Craft is logic, and art defies it. The defiance is what makes art. The serenity of the artisan lies in her knowledge that it can all be done again. The anxiety of the artist; lies in knowing that if it is done again, she has become an artisan. (Gopnik,2014:7)


Edmund de Waal is a maker of objects with imagined histories. (Gopnik,2014:11)
