pubs.rights-statement	The installation can be situated within an emergent field of cross disciplinary practice between art and design that employs technical and conceptual strategies. More specifically, it can be located alongside design strategies that have arisen in the last decade within the contemporary craft and design that combine conceptual thinking, craft and design and whose processes arise from material based, technical concerns of craft for imaging new possibilities for the designed object. The current project utilizes precedents of practice in ‘Critical Design’ first proposed by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby (2005) and work by Gaver et, al (2004) on the value of uncertainty in object relations. The focus is to isolate and examine particular properties associated with material thinking and embodied engagement. The project takes a phenomenological rather than representational view of the designed object as the subject of potential embodied interaction. Specific design strategies of ambiguation and provocation are utilised to bring into focus particular ways of engaging with and experiencing the art-design object. Significantly this project explicitly references observational practices associated with early scientific research and presented an clustered arrangement of sculptural works, and utilised visual paradox as the primary strategy. The body of work was selected to be shown as a a curated solo show titled Experiments in Natural Philosophy, Galerie Pompom Sydney, curated by Ron and George Adams. A number of individual sculptural works from this body of research work were selected as part of Right Here, Right Now, Penrith Regional Gallery, Sydney, curated by Michael Do. Experiments in Natural Philosophy has featured on international art, design & architecture websites Yellowtrace and was a feature article by Marina Esmeraldo in Minimalisimmo.	en_US
