welsh garden

I saw this cobweb on a bramble while I was getting all my stuff together for college and it reminded me firstly of Jonathon Parsons' carcass, one of the artists we where advised to look at for this project, but visually more of Aboriginal map symbols. Aboriginal maps are probably among the most fascinating because other than the guiding symbols painted in ochre there are certain markers in the terrain, much like Richard Long's Maps/Sculptures(another artist we where advised to study). And that, in my opinion is what makes them so interesting: the navigational device is in fact the very terrain it would otherwhise be a reprisentation of. It's too late for me to develope an idea from that, after all this is my "Map" so to speak, but I thought it would be worth taking note of, even this late in the process. And I am thinking of experimenting with this kind of sculpture, and possibly a short film on top of this. If I do, I'll find a way of getting them on this blog.
