Landscape & (Re)Settlement / Cruth-tìre & (Ath)Tuineachadh

Ruth Gilmour: Material Bodies
“The world makes us in one and the same process as we make the world.” Andrew Pickering
Matter is a substance that is becoming and bodies live from the world. In being permeable systems, bodies are not self contained. Matter-energy flows through bodies as discrete entities, it composes bodies, transforms them and then dissipates; discrete little entities. Challenging conceptions of the body, this work intermeshes the human with other life forms and geographical places. Humans emerge from the same ‘chaotically’ coded forces that continuously entangle them. Despite being one from the environment, we don’t recognise our own ecological dimension. We pushed the earth into the Anthropocene forgetting that it touches us too.
