I’m a natural process paint spiller, general cat utility, husbear, and occasional writer. Thank you for stopping by!
I love how unique and beautiful his imagery is! I do wish he was a bit more scientific about his processes, but I suppose a healthy portion of “let’s just see what happens” is necessary in science!
Not only allowed, but appreciated!
I’m just glad someone’s working on it, because I have no idea! 😅
The link for this one says the following, but doesn’t say how long it took each person, or a total of hours. I’d like to know that, though!
“In addition to the “Core Collection” of reefs constructed by Christine and Margaret Wertheim, the Crochet Coral Reef project encompasses a community program in which the Wertheim’s work with citizens of various cities and countries to create local “Satellite Reefs”. As of early 2023, 50 Satellite Reefs have been made including in Chicago, New York, London, Melbourne, Ireland, Latvia, Finland, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates. More than 20,000 people (mostly women) have contributed to this ever-growing woolen archipelago. At the end of this page is a chronological list of all Satellite Reefs and their host institutions.”
I agree, thank you, and you are very welcome!
Between the 2 factions (covert and overt), we seem to be covering a lot so far! There aren’t many doing the covert, just a few in large cities, but hopefully the mainstream acceptance will increase that, as well. I actually just realized a (completely unrelated) firm has bought the URL ecograffiti.com. …Not sure how I feel about that, exactly, but trying to stay positive. It would be much better if that firm actually DID eco-graffiti, but oh well.
Oh, and here’s how they’re doing this! https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Moss-Graffiti
Mt. Rushmore is a great example of the other side of that, thank you!
Me too! Yarn’s not really “permanent”, but it’s way more permanent than spore cultures, and I love that about these. Plus you can pick them up and handle them without wanting to wretch. lol
I thought the same thing! Of all the natural process artists I’ve run across, his work is some of the most visually unique!
My artwork probably wouldn’t exist in the form it’s in now, if it weren’t for alluvial fans and river deltas being formed by sediment deposition in nature - I suppose that isn’t the same thing as soil art, but as long as the imagery is a result of or inspired by natural processes, then my vote is still “YES”. Thank you for posting!
