In the context of the current era of technology, where automated processes replace handcraft in industrial scale production, the limits of our experience of the world, which used to be an arm span away, have been diminished to within centimetres of our eyes. Our dominant tools have become our brains, and we retreat behind our eyes to receive information and passively process it, rather than requiring the tactile feedback of our hands.
Philipp’s practice resists this diminishing role of touch, process and craft in the human experience and seeks to explore how the traditional crafts can enrich our contemporary society. This is not to nostalgically return to the past but instead to study the processes of craft and inspire the contemporary ritual, enhancing its impact beyond its own field of operation.
Reimagining the craft process from this perspective poses questions which filter throughout Philipp’s works, asking “what is the value of craft today?” in order to learn again the very basics in what joins humans, their tools and the objects we create.
