I used multiple tools on various parts of my installation to create texture and patterns; some tools were unconventional like grass, knives, & string to create different marks and other things I used were traditional tools like paint brushes

I feel like I've gotten more comfortable with letting go of controlling marks and using unconventional tools for mark making; I have also used pen to draw the figures over the background and pen is something that I should use more often even though I don't feel comfortable using it because you cannot erase mistakes

I tried to cover the space and connect the visual elements of each piece of the boarder so that once it was up it was unified as 1 piece and didn't look disconnected from each other; I kept adding to the pieces until I was happy enough with it

I learned that in Ancient Egypt they used scripts that told stories on them in sections and my piece is sectioned like different parts of a script

At the beginning of my installation I originally was planning on just creating different patterns with different tools but I thought that it wasn't unified so I decided to draw figures over top of the patterns

Each section of pattern either represents exploration and I was playing around with different mark making techniques or it is a correlation to how I felt each time I added something to the strips and I used a style of illustration that is my own to draw the figures over the background

In the end my installation looks like pieces of what would be in a sketchbook and I treated the project like a sketchbook which I use for expressing ideas, experimenting and studying
