Materiality
October 5, 2015Materiality
Do you have a fascination with eggs? With straw? With
pencils? With masking tape? Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had
an enormous amount of that stuff you just can’t keep your hands off of? What
materials are you drawn to? And what are those materials teaching
you–mechanically, emotionally, spiritually?
What is the opposite of this material that you love? For
instance, if you love eggs, its opposite might be… old asphalt. What
materials give you the heebie jeebies? What materials can you just not stand to
hold? For me, it might be corn starch in water. Just feels wrong.
What if you were consigned to working with this material you
hated for a 40 hour week? What might this material have to teach you?
