Prognosticate [prog·nos·ti·cate] tr.v. To predict according to present indications or signs; foretell.
So far I would prognosticate that I know where I am going.
A couple of days ago I had written of my excitement of the human body and how it made me feel about the project. I decided to expand on one of the images I had found and to work from this to create images/patterns.
This is the image I worked from; I was interested by the veins and how they networked around the skull.
I decided to trace them as to see what they would be like without the outline of the skull. The result was just red line but it pleased me, but I felt this was only scratching the surface of this area of investigation. As I sat at my desk I decided that instead of removing the tracing paper I would layer another piece on top of it, and would then find another aspect to trace, or to perhaps work for the newly drawn veins underneath. I merely traced the outline of the head but it was really pleasing how the images below was trying to push through tracing paper and it made me want to continue this process. [Like earlier with what I was trying with the printing, I was exploring the ideas of layers and repetitions, it is becoming to be a theme but nonetheless it seems to be productive so I shall allow it to continue.] I proceeded to add layer after layer until I had made ten different sheets with each pages a slight response to it predecessor. I made a short video clip of the sheets:
Looking back at the images and their layering it makes me think of skin cells and how there is a constant shedding and regrowth, how skin is translucent and only creates a block of colour through its repetition, much like the tracing paper i was using. Its not a particularly astounding discovery but its is definitely something to think about, there is potential in that. I shall continue to draw and explore and thus shall find more.
Some poetry there.
