Texture rubbings

With the rubbings that we had collected, we scanned them and drew over them with paint, pen or pencil. We highlighted any moments and patterns that we could see within the drawings. The result turned out to be quite successful. The shapes and lines created can be used to laser cut or engrave on our plant room walls.

With the rubbings exercise we took tracing paper and placed it over different surfaces on our site, and rubbed media like crayons, charcoal etc over it. The surfaces varied from concrete to tree bark, just about any surface that when felt had texture and roughness to it.

The effect of these rubbings turned out to be quite dynamic, as each surface had its own particular pattern. If we concentrate on certain parts of the images then we can see patterns and shapes that could be used to laser cut for our plantrooms.
