Emma Cocker and Nicole Wendel propose to activate a live Ecology of Relation for sharing their collaborative artistic research enquiry, The Appearance of the More. The term Ecology of Relation describes a form of experimental and improvisatory practising together – or of being-in-touch – for bringing into relation the unfolding, embodied processes of drawing and languaging as resonating fields of perception and cooperation. Within an Ecology of Relation different practices of drawing and voicing become activated through heightened attention to the attunement, interrelation and resonance of different bodies, forces and agencies – both human and more-than-human – within the contingent process of shared exploration. Each Ecology of Relation creates conditions for the potential of what Hartmut Rosa (2019) refers to as horizontal, diagonal and vertical axes of resonance. Within an Ecology of Relation, each axis is underscored by the qualities of intimacy, risk, trust, vulnerability, listening, receptivity and porosity: the horizontal axis of resonance relates to the in-touch-ness between human subjects, the reciprocity, responsiveness and mutuality of collaboration; the diagonal axis involves correspondence with materials, attending to the ‘singing of things’, whilst the vertical axis opens towards the potential of an unknown, the ‘appearance of the more’. This enquiry attempts to attend to and make tangible the appearance and immanent materiality of an emergent drawing in touch with a moving body, whilst searching for a mode of linguistic articulation capable of operating in fidelity to that experience, to the emerging phenomenon (of drawing). The Ecologies of Relation make tangible certain constitutive conditions for resonance, in turn, of a more ethical, attentive and embodied relation between self and world: the importance of taking time, of the cultivation of non-utilitarian, non-grasping forms of ‘radical tenderness’ and ‘creative attention’ (Simone Weil).
