These sculptures are not particularly relevant to COFA 1001, but they are rad nonetheless.
How amazing are octopuses?! New obsession on its way…

COFA 1001: Mark making at Fairlight Beach. Using light to trace the lines of the rocks, and to trace a desire line off the stairs up to the rocks.
I met three lovely young guys while I was doing this- they had been tripping on acid all day, and they quite literally stumbled upon me. They were so interested in the concept of desire lines and felt like their paths and mine were supposed to cross. It was nice to get some positive reinforcement from them, and I feel like I’ve put some good back out there today.
COFA 1001: I misread this artist’s name, but anywho, quite interesting mark making.

Hunter Cole - Artist and Geneticist
Cole grows the bacteria in a liquid culture, and then uses the culture as her paint, applying it to a gelatinous augur in a petri dish, as if the augur were a canvas. When applied, the culture is clear, but over a 24 hour period it slowly begins to glow, becoming more visible. For the two weeks following the culture’s application, as the bacteria grows and dies, the drawing changes.

The site:
rock pools, goodies at the high tide line, (edit: the rock formations in this photo are actually shale, not sandstone), bag of man-made things (glass, plastic, cigarette butts, rusty bottle caps, et cetera) collected from the high tide line, more sandstone formations, actual sand, and moving water.
COFA 1001: Mark making at Fairlight Beach. Documenting the lines again… slightly fascinated with this rock! My rubbing skills are a bit shit.

“Sydney Harbour is made up of mostly sandstone and shale formed during the Triassic period (about 220 million years ago). These formations were later raised to their present heights by earth movements, starting in the Jurassic period, (200 million years ago). During this time great cracks formed and molten lava rose up through the rocks to form volcanic vents, these then cooled and hardened to form dykes of basalt.” http://australianmuseum.net.au/Geology-of-Sydney-Harbour/
