The origins of this research topic lay in my intention to understand clay as a material. In pursuit of this, research-creation allows me to study the material sentience of clay. So it leads to my question: How is it possible to determine the dance of agency between humans and clay, and what is it? I chose to approach this topic with the dance of agency because it aimed to analyze matter primarily with ontology before epistemology and science. There is power in an embodied performance considering process and play.
This interactive installation and the methods I rely on for the development and execution follow quantitative and qualitative approaches within both the postpositivism and constructivism paradigms. Specifically, the visual ethnography of the resulting image(s) after each participant is examined.
