Studio Spaces : Whitewashed with Breathing Forces by Russell Moreton

Artist Statement : Making Research by Russell Moreton Via Flickr: Russell Moreton : A visual fine artist is exploring themes around 'Making' involving the imprint of the artist, and metaphysical immersive nature of contemporary art practices and architecture. My site-based practices further develops my inquiry into speculative learning, creative propositions for knowledge production through Spatial Practices. 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 is no longer a retreat but it now integrates. It is all exterior. Ways of Curating, Hans Ulrich Obrist. 2014 Clay+Ceramic Bodies of Overspilling Forms~Sympathy~Abject(ion) Forward to The Sympathy of Things, Lars Spuybroek. We see the excess of changfulness, at once immanent to and over spilling the structural integrity of the form. Brian Massumi. Making~Environment(s)~Artist Statement. 2025 Building Spatial Apparatuses~Performativity~Participation Create a space where craft, theory, art and architecture come together. Using diffractive readings centred around developing and making conceptualising environments using situated processual gatherings and idea-forms of inhabiting, embodying, fictioning, and folding. Constructing~compositions for creative ecologies through the humanities that can performatively inhabit fictions that fold and embody both spatial bodies and human bodies. Russell Moreton. Axis Fellowship Proposal. Materials are employed to further underpin our sense of place and time. The act and gesture of drawing adds a ephemeral mark amongst the materiality and locality of place.

DSC_0521 Anarchive Spatial Structures by Russell Moreton Via Flickr: russellmoreton.blogspot.com An anarchive is a creative process and philosophy that resists traditional, static archiving. Instead of just storing past traces, it acts as a "feed-forward mechanism" that uses archival material to continuously spark new art, sensations, and becoming. Key Concepts Process over Product: Traditional archives preserve inert documents. The anarchive treats these traces as carriers of potential, constantly mutating into new creative iterations. Reactivation: Traces from the past are used as springboards to inspire new thought and ongoing variation, rather than settling on historical truth. Excess Energy: The anarchive is considered the "surplus value" of the archive—it lives in the movements going into and coming out of storage.
