Tracing Matter
Video by Jackson Swaby
Matthew Vaughan and Lucy Crouch have been working together since late 2021, exploring a shared interest in the resonance of materials.
Their current project focuses on the qualities of charcoal, pulling out the resonant sounds through and within charcoal and producing prints using charcoal as print medium. The charcoal is made from waste pieces of oak timber, originating from French forests. Crouch and Vaughan both consider every aspect of the charcoal’s history and material transformations as mutable matter important. They are interested the potential of the charcoal as a resonant object and, for Crouch in particular, the question of the concept of drawing - recognising drawing through and within material in its unfolding.
