Stages in taxonomy

First taxonomical attempts using polarities such as: empty/containing; edible/non-edible; boxes/round. We slowly moved to less rational polarities and even less objective criteria: blue/round; things that are taller than wide/things that are labelled; smooth/things that would tessellate. Form those polarities we began to evoke the idea of a continuum to position elements (things that are taller than wide/things that are labelled but also things that are taller than wide with a label). (August 08, Charente).

Some of the objects used in Canterbury in our exploration of embodiment. We mostly played with the objects, consciously choosing aspects of the objects and transferring them to the body. It now appears to us as the embryo of the processing machine. (November 08).

Studio space at Laban (Laurie Grove, London). The organisation of the space reflects our process: (from left to write) a space to draw, objects to interrogate, the camera to document the process and a space to reflect, discuss and write. Although quite distinct we integrate all those elements as part of the same creative practice. (January 09).
