on clay &self
At the Francis Crick Institute I studied living systems through the balance of intrinsic and extrinsic shaping: how a cell becomes what it is through continuous negotiation between what it carries internally and what its environment demands of it.
When I looked at clay in water, I recognised that logic. I did not borrow it consciously. I saw it, already there, in the clay.
I call the practice Autobiographical Objecthood.
