Unit 3 Mark Making

Photography by: Marina Bussandri
Here I experimented using a range of materials: ink, cardboard, pens, masking tape, pencil, a ruler, scalpel and string. To start with I used the clean straight lines that we have associated with alpha and the technological futuristic age. Following that I incorporated messier techniques like, layering and autonomy, in order to create markings and patterns which create confusion and mix the marks that we have defined alpha and omega with. Personally i found the most visually interesting experiments the ones which included mixed media (eg. masking tape and ink). These examples show the conflict of one material trying to control the outcome and the other going against it leaving an experiment which is not 'perfectly' clean.
