RESEARCH
the architecture of ‘ruins’ - a photo/graphic inquiry
the aesthetics of atmospheres: spatial design in early childhood education
aesthetic consciousness - atmospheres, yìjìng - as an artistic atmosphere, absence, liú bái (empty space), yoin (echo)
intersection of psychogeography, butoh-MA and drawing/collage as an artistic practice
non-semantic elements of the text (the ‘outside’ , silence and emptiness) and wild cursive script - kuang cao shu
ARTISTIC PRACTICE*
photography, drawing, Chinese calligraphy, (fragmentary) writing: poetry and asemic script, collage, fibre practice
*each practice is evoked and complemented by an-other; the expression of one emerges in the space of the other’s silence.
