DESCRIPTION:Following their participation in Tuesday’s MacArthurxBGC: “What
  is Research?” panel\, join Tom Joyce and Hideo Mabuchi on Wednesday\, Nov
 ember 6\, at 12:15 pm\, for a conversation entitled\, “Making in Iron and 
 Clay.”Tom Joyce is a sculptor and one of the foremost practitioners in the
  art of forging iron. He writes\,“Before iron passed into the hands of mak
 ers\, it made a long and circuitous journey\; from its explosive origins i
 n dying suns\; to its emergence as nanoparticles in soil\, plants\, animal
 s and every other living thing\; from microscopic bacteria to the largest 
 mammals inhabiting Earth. Iron in blood and the oxygenating properties it 
 facilitates in our bodies not only sustains life as we know it\, but also 
 acutely affects our immune system\; brain development\; learning capacity\
 ; memory\; metabolism\; motor skills and manual dexterity.” This presentat
 ion will consider how iron emerged as such an indispensable ingredient and
  building block in our solar system and in the objects passed from a maker
 ’s hands into the hands of others.Hideo Mabuchi is a physicist at Stanford
  University. He’ll consider how ceramic making is an extended process enco
 mpassing the sourcing\, shaping\, firing\, and framing of clay. Meaning en
 ters the work at every stage and a finished piece holds material memories 
 of its becoming. In looking at the layering of creative expression with ma
 terial agency\, he will propose some corresponding tenets for ceramics med
 ium analysis\, and consider what new ideas may emerge for ceramics curatio
 n and conservation as modern science encroaches increasingly upon the auto
 nomous development of traditional craft.
