ground - over ground + underground (plus scoring)

Today was quite productive. I didn't make anything that made me go wow but I feel as if I was able to clarify some things. I think I'm trying to play with plans of colour / tone generating depth like Rothko did but do it in photography too. I found this by cutting sections out and then overlaying them on other colours but it wasn't enough. It was much better where there were more layers or that the colour underneath was also above.

I got into cutting into shapes where the inside dictated the outside. But, still with the same arrangement liked the architectural landscape view as well as the top down flat abstract plan view. Can't figure that out or whether I have to (decide on one or the other).

Then I got really into the black paper and started scoring into the paper. I liked how these lines were not physical and easier to see when photographing along the surface of the paper. I worked on top with pencil small squares. It was cool because I was into them as objects, the photography had inspired the actual diagram as apposed to the other way around - making something to be photographed. The black paper diagram curvy line thing was really cool because in the light it changed, you had to hold and move it to see what was good about it - it would be crap in a frame. Would be good on the floor where you could walk around it.

Also been reading a lot of Flusser today - but more on that another day.......... tbc perpetually.....
