The body as a mode of Notation.
Interacting the body with site and creating a connection between the two. Showing how the body and skin can have similar qualities to site.

Untitled #2, Bill Henson, http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-09/untitled-2.jpg/8338538
Although most of the themes that Bill Henson explores in his work are different to what I’m looking at, he does look at the body in a way of expressing and notating. I have also tried to follow a similar stylistic approach in the photographs I took.

Clare Rae, Never Standing on Two Feet, 2017, http://www.clarerae.com/work/never-standing-on-two-feet
This particular photograph from Clare Rae’s ‘Never Standing on Two Feet’ series was really inspiring for me. I’m interested in how she begins to morph herself into site, but also being selective about which parts and how much of her body she shows.

Working my body (particularly my hands) into site. Finding cracks, indentations, holes and impressions where my body can interact and fit into site.
I wanted to either use a timer on the camera or take the photos myself for this exercise, as I thought (and confirmed once I started) that taking the photos myself would influence the final outcome and how the photographs looked in the end.

Bodily movement and position of feet
When I gave the instruction of ‘unstack the dishwasher’, I assumed that the interesting bodily movements and interactions would be in the hands and arms, but as I documented the subject undertaking this task i soon discovered that the feet were the most interesting part.

By the end of the few weeks of notating marks, I realised that almost every day I was documenting light conditions. It wasn't really a conscious decision but something that I was drawn to and interested in.

Through this daily observation and documentation exercise, I’ve began to realise that I was particularly interested in fleeting moments and ephemeral conditions such as light and shadow. These ‘marks’ are always changing and never constant. It was really interesting that in the three weeks of this exercise I became so much more attentive to conditions that I have described above. Even just in my house, that I’ve now lived in for over a year, I’ve become so much more aware of different light and shadows that are cast and reflected throughout the day, these conditions have always been present but I’ve just never paid much attention to them. This brings up another interesting aspect of notation, being that as soon as you begin to notate, document and investigate, so much more becomes visible.
