Snippets

 The most exciting conversation we had on Trees was the data analysis discussion we had with Johan, Samyia, Peter and you. In my notes we started with the idea of snippets and what was there and what wasn't there and zooming out and zooming in. 

I hadn't done my homework but I did a behind the scenes search. First I watched the videos - the hurried sounds, the tree stamping, the worms, the behind the scenes repetitions and murmurings of school. 

I was interested in the zooming in and out and what we see through these images.  Peter talked of resisting the hermeneutical stance and responding but not interpreting. This is an image of bark - it is quite arty and would probably go down well at a conference but it was just taken but not intentionally. 

I like the way this reminds me of a ship, the one we took to the Orkneys, in which we sailed for 6 hours from Aberdeen. Before we sailed we went to see the Wee Forest and it had grown. 

I like the way the wire netting frames this picture also the stand, and then behind are the trees and the houses. I think in terms of being Artist in Residence I think it would be helpful to think about which stories we tell and also how they are told. The science is still so strong we could maybe construct a lens to look at the science in a new way. 

I am off to a show - I like the fringe as it is quite random and you can do a derive kind of experience.
