Art making is dependent on the processes by which the works are made and the choices of the artist orient the experience of both viewer and artist alike. This support paper accompanies the exhibition Hylomorphs and serves as an auto-ethnology of making. In working with materials in a direct and tactile fashion I explore the dispositional role of objects in spaces as well as New Materialist approaches to the non-human and Material Agency. By working in a slow and engaged manner I respond to the push of the materials to forge a collaborative process between artist and material.
