Presentation

# data[].attributes.body
We were asked what route will the presentation and interactive element (if any) take?

We should think about and decide how we want to tell the story - is it educational, performative? Does it exist in a public or private space?

One helpful question to keep asking ourselves to guide us ‘why should this story be told?’

It’s better to try lots and push yourself, learn a lot even if it doesn’t resolve perfectly than do what you always know how to do

Painting techniques

The first paintings were cave paintings. Ancient peoples decorated walls of protected caves with paint made from dirt or charcoal mixed with spit or animal fat. In cave paintings, the pigments stuck to the wall partially because the pigment became trapped in the porous wall, and partially because the binding media (the spit or fat) dried and adhered the pigment to the wall.

Historians hypothesize that paint was applied with brushing, smearing, dabbing, and spraying techniques. Large areas were covered with fingertips or pads of lichen or moss. Twigs produced drawn or linear marks, while feathers blended areas of color. Brushes made from horsehair were used for paint application and outlining. Paint spraying, accomplished by blowing paint through hollow bones, yielded a finely grained distribution of pigment, similar to an airbrush. The oxides of iron dug right out of the ground in the form of lumps were presumably rich in clay. This consistency was conducive to the formation of crayon sticks and also could be made into a liquid paste more closely resembling paint. Historians believe that the lumps were ground into a fine powder on the cave's natural stone hollows, where stains have been observed. Shoulder and other bones of large animals, stained with color, have been discovered in the caves and presumed to have been used as mortars for pigment grinding. The pigment was made into a paste with various binders, including water, vegetable juices, urine, animal fat, bone marrow, blood, and albumen.

The palette

Prehistoric painters used the pigments available in the vicinity. These pigments were the so-called earth pigments, (minerals limonite and hematite, red ochre, yellow ochre and umber), charcoal from the fire ( carbon black), burnt bones ( bone black) and white from grounded calcite ( lime white).

Indeed, Prehistoric dwellers may have discovered that, unlike the dye colors they were using and which were derived from animal and vegetable sources, the color that came from iron oxide deposits in the earth would not fade with the changing environment. For this reason, it is believed that men traveled far and wide to maintain a steady supply of earth pigments. In every locality where prehistoric sites have been discovered, from Texas to South Africa, trails lead to near and distant hematite deposits where man mined. Historians have deduced that the impetus behind all mining activities was prehistoric man's need for ochre pigments. Cave men might have traveled as far as 25 miles to obtain iron earth pigments for their paint in the Lascaux area.

Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly

Our toes, our noses
Take hold on the loam,
Acquire the air.

Nobody sees us,
Stops us, betrays us;
The small grains make room.

Soft fists insist on
Heaving the needles,
The leafy bedding,

Even the paving.
Our hammers, our rams,
Earless and eyeless,

Perfectly voiceless,
Widen the crannies,
Shoulder through holes. We

Diet on water,
On crumbs of shadow,
Bland-mannered, asking

Little or nothing.
So many of us!
So many of us!

We are shelves, we are
Tables, we are meek,
We are edible,

Nudgers and shovers
In spite of ourselves.
Our kind multiplies:

We shall by morning
Inherit the earth.
Our foot's in the door.

- fungi are intrinsically linked to our past, evolved before and alongside humans, guided us toward artistic development
- fungi allow us to connect with and communicate with the natural world
- fungi have untapped potential to be used as medicine and to help manage climate crises
- we want our costume to have the tangible/mystery of fungi and allow the wearer/viewer to make their own connection with nature
- the variety in colour, form and texture of fungi inspire us artistically to push boundries
- the organic structure of the costume could be an immersive environment - full body, large, breathes/inflates, weighs you down
- the costume should be wearable/not too difficult to take on and off

# data[].attributes.body
- lace 'face', prints inside balloons, lit by fairy lights? fabric draped over hoop shape?

"She finds a material and then watches what it can do. She doesn’t alter the individual element – it isn’t painted, nothing particularly artistic is done to change what it is. Instead, she accumulates masses of identical things and finds a way for their physical properties to be used and revealed. "
