-bird eating a lizard? bug? how often do birds have to eat?
-ants on the tree
-ants in a line/group mob going in same direction- that "ants go marching 1by1" song didn't come from nowhere.
-the tree has so many deep grooves bugs living in the grooves?
-pieces of tree are fragile and can snap off of tree
-leaves covering ground, things are constantly falling off the trees, leaves, pieces of bark, bugs?
-spanish moss, though cool looking and probably soft, is better not to touch- bugs inhabiting it
-small piece of trash on the ground- a part of a twix wrapper. did the person litter? did they try to throw away the trash but it fell out? trashcan too full? did they think because it was a small piece it didn't matter?
-the different shades of bark- from reddish brown to a dark and dull brown- actual changes and not just in lighting
-what makes a tree? how do we still know it's a tree even though we may have never seen it's type? what are people's personal connection to trees? childhood, work, relaxation
-slow constant flow of people
-some leaves have weird little circle bumps on them- what are they?
-green trace on bark- growths, parasites, fungus
-person w/ neck brace on and girly clothing on- how'd she get it? how does she feel about wearing it? she okay with it? embarrassed? is it due to an accident? or violence?
-people walking all have their ipods in- because of boredom? because they don't like silence? can't live without luxury? keeps them from thinking too much? helps them think?
-distance sounds from 13th street-even though nothing around is making noise, it's still not quite- feels like silence but background noise going on
-even though man hasn't directly touched all of nature, all of nature has been indirectly effected... affected? mreh- climate change, animals being forced into concentrated areas
-homemade signs with craft letters and laminated
-have to remove yourself when you stop talking- like you don't exist anymore
-someone's phone beeps- constant reminder of technology
-birds chirping- haven't heard it in a while
-lizards scampering- size is all relative- how big is the courtyard to them? a town? city? state? how far is the farthest they'll ever go? how long to they live?
-long spider web- what happens when they fall? do they die? or are they more hardy?
-old lady with furry purse- to young people is cheesy but other older people like it- who is right? will our own tastes change like that too?
I like how you listed all this; also, how much bark does a tree bark if a tree's bark could bark bark?
ReplyDeletefollowing your train of thought is exciting. You lead from one object to an idea to a different picture. Using this kind of process in art making is probably the best way to make a statement about something but not directly using the object as the focus but more likely the idea of the object.
