Work in progress ‒ Studio Visit
with Caroline Andrin
Description
Caroline Andrins research involves the manufacturing process, and more in particular the casting of porcelain slip. Traditionally porcelain is cast in plaster moulds - Caroline Andrin prefers to use moulds that leave a trace on the final object. To that end, she uses objects of our everyday environment, objects that we wear or use.
In her studio these processes are most apparent, the objects she collects and works with are gathered here.

Starting off with a talk on the inspiration and ideas behind the project, and finishing with an open discussion regarding the potential not only of Lines, but of alternative writing strategies in general.If you feel like already joining the discussion, visit http://thecafesociety.org/talklines
