Thinking Through Craft

• craft vs colour - analogous yet different
• craft's inferiority
• craft as conceptual limit - a horizon from which one derives one's position, but never reaches the horizon line
• craft - "highly crafted" - craft as a kind of approach not object
• art is autonomous and more to do with the optical or audio effects, whereas craft is a material experience
• metaphors for it could be like stars in a constellation, or an archipelago

• my thoughts on the intro is that he articulates a lot of similar concerns that i have about art and craft. thinking about why i object to going to goldsmiths's programme only due to their "smart crafting" tagline - my lack of interest or experience with materials?
