THINKING WITH CHALK, PHOTOGRAPHING MOON ROCK AND MAKING A SHOPPING LIST
I’ve been using chalk and the blackboard painted paper to think about how to create a new experimental environment for the growing stones. I’d forgotten how liberating it is to use something as instantly erasable as chalk. It’s an odd drawing and one that will undergo more changes yet as I work out what I need to do.
I was fascinated by images on tv yesterday of moon rock wrapped in foil and polythene being removed from its sterile, bomb-proof storage container. There was a resonance there for me; a reminder of my own stones wrapped in foil as part of my earlier experiments with growing stones. I photographed it. It seemed important.
My shopping list for this week:
– glue sticks for more work on the “thing” which continues to grow on the rafters in my shed
– new heater for the shed because the weather man says it’s going to get cold
– UV light for the latest growing stones experiment
