Starting Point

I chose this photograph from my summer project as my starting point for Intentions.

From this photograph I began to list the main things I like about it which were:

• The tactile qualities
• Colour palette
• Natural source
• The small quantities of the lichen
• The contrast of the colour of the lichen against the stone

From this I decided that these would be running themes for my concept. The main idea that I came to was the ratio of lichen to stone, this difference in proportion really interests me. I came to the conclusion that this would drive my work, not necessarily just looking at lichen, but any source that shows this extreme proportion of opposites.
