I, as one of the actors who plays a role in the act of changing the rhythm of life by collecting, making and firing the material, believe that being attentive to the earth is the most important concept to be adopted in terms of all material-based arts. In this context, I try to use “material” as an interface or engagement area of human and non-human actors.
