Testo aggiuntivo
"On Surface and Place invents a compositional theory of matter and idea. The ontology of weaving meets architectural surface as an opening for thought and practice. Peta Carlin skillfully and beautifully creates a cartography in which social, material, aesthetic and political registers touch."
Kathleen C. Stewart, Professor of Anthropology, University of Texas at Austin, USA
"Between her photographs of Melbourne’s curtain wall facades and memories of travels to the Outer Hebrides, Carlin weaves lines of thought from art, architecture, literature, and philosophy, into a poetic, thought-provoking topography."
Jeff Malpas, Distinguished Professor, University of Tasmania, Australia.
