Another Productive Day.

Documenting the rain today....very exciting. I am also really excited about the first couple videos I produced. I plan on setting aside a day to print some of these scans larger to see how they look, of course that difference wont be quite visible on the blog but it will be good for next residency and my meeting with my mentor. These videos should be in order from the beginning. I have some paper outside in my garden that I will take up tomorrow, let dry, and scan and I have a large sheet of white paper I have left out my back steps that should have some nice marks at this point.

I did another photo shoot. I am experimenting now with putting the last bit of fruit from cutting or eating into a Ball jar and then I am going to document its decomposing stages. I have a banana peel, apple, celery, and red onion. I look forward to seeing the changes. I think I will put them outside and then photograph them each day, should changes be visible. here is a photo:

While preparing paper I decided  to document my table and its appearance. Here is the image of the table and then I took a shot from a side angle from above with only natural light so the perspective is completely different. 

 I played with some husk cherry shells I had and thought they would be a nice mark maker for this work. I placed some on paper and let sit and I put glass over one and let it sit.

My results:

husk cherry shells and glass

husk cherry shells with no glass

citrus sprayed paper, still drying

 rain paper dried and quite intriguing.

All results on a board fully drying
