What I find very interesting is what happens in the moments when the audience leaves. Different performers have their rituals in the space after the show. What happens when you walk into the space and it’s not yet show hour? The environment is so loaded; obviously it lives on, on its own, in the dark.

Every project begins with a piece of paper. Even if the end product is an installation or sculpture, it is a continuation from a pencil sketch. Paper exists in everything I do, it is the very beginning. When I seek what can be done with a specific piece of paper, I sometimes find that it is too beautiful to do anything with it.

SCENIC VIEWS

Artist and HTS tutor Alison Moffett describes a series of work within her current exhibition, “A Room with a View” on show now at Schleicher Lange Galerie in Berlin

The idea for the Institute of Making evolved out of our work building a materials library, and our passion for the relationship between materials and processes. We wanted to make a space that felt full of potential, really celebrating the material world and that which could be made.
