Abstract

A Project that explores tool making sculpturally, speculating on a pre-lingual modality of meaning making. This research uses tool making processes to explore physically initiated modalities of articulating thought outside of the meaning making operations of language. Tool making is conceptualized as an external scaffolding structure where one may explore making beyond or detached from language based manners of thinking.

Research stems from material constraints that shape our understanding of objects and processes. The research attempts to explore the limits of constraints. Can I create a new tool for drawing that changes the way we make drawing?

I use the notion of the studio as a constellation of objects, tools, instruments, processes. Through the studio I build and explore new ways to encounter art making. The studio also creates tangential pathways. It is a collection of my past, my future, memories, failures, interests, side projects and interests. It can be a productive pipeline or procrastination manifest.
