This year's summer session was punctuated by a multitude of daily weather patterns that kept the workspaces and makers trotting around the landscape.
Carrier boxes of tools and materials, mobile collections of artefacts moved from location to location, carpets of plastic sheets appeared and disappeared as did some well intentioned tent covers. As rainbows passed and deposited gold pots in far away horizons, the skies dispersed the colour into weighty blankets of tones in cyclical rotation.
The following images are a collection of these temporal studio spaces in the Ranch landscape this year, paradoxically mostly captured during sunny spells. These craftspaces document early iterations and experimentation of projects.
The catalogue is a work in progress at the moment, where projects will be presented by the makers themselves. These temporary studios may appear, but then may remain fleeting glimpses of processes of behind the scenes fragments.
The cinematic moments will be have links in the catalogue, and we hope to launch this year's events at the UAL MA ISD Graduation Show in early Sept 2017.
But first a group shot....
