Insect marks, marks with a purpose due to the insects feeding.They are not just an accident or out of boredom. They are like the holes in our memory. The small details that are missing that we can never remember.
Water marks down bark. Water is drawing with itself. I also love how the colour of the bark changes drastically just by adding water. Natural marks differ from found man made marks usually because the thing which made the marks have become the mark ie water/ moss. They have become the drawing meduim.
Powdery lichen. The colours are very different even within such a small space. The turquoise is so synthetic looking. It's like in a dream or memory where there is a random part which you always remember which is not actually part of the dream. It's almost surreal.
A present mark made by something now absent which is three dimensional and an addition to the surface. I like how it relates to the growing of something over the actual surface of the brain to hide or cause the loss of memory. L would like to do some research into dimensia and diseases which grow on the brain to cause memory break down.
Human marks impacting natural ones. This to me is such a disgustng mark and I hate that really every human at some point has left an ugly mark on nature. This blue is so unnatural, and the paint has clung to every fibre of the moss fusing itself completley and smothering its surface. It is impossible to live a whole life on this earth and not leave a mark, or memory on it.
Study of water dropping onto the surface of water. The water is drawing on the surface of the pond. It is a temporary mark rather than the much more perminant ones made by humans. Like a fleeting memory which is gone as soon as it came.
Another study of water drips down a tree. I love how its not a straight line, rather one which is controled by the surface underneith. Are our decisions or thought processes controlled by what's under our surface. Our upbringing, and beliefs.
Creating a texture to then work ontop of with masking tape. Something which can increase or decrease how well a material stcks to its surface.
Creating a surface using knitting and french knots. Building up onto a surface. Layering up memories.
Knitting using opposing textures of thread and a muted, natural colour scheme. It creates beautiful and more interesting textures.
