Entangled resources
This work is about a time during my IST course Entangled Resources where I worked with a place I know; The Bosjes Van Poot. A place I visited every day. So A place that changes with and around me. Before
I was born my mom used to walk the same path as I do nowadays. Till these days this path is walked on by my mom or me. With this research I walked the same road to combine nature, human and time again.
I went into the forest and collected different plants, branches, and grass. In that place and moment I combined these ‘[alive nature parts’ into so- mething new. ‘‘A moment in time ‘’ A time sealed moment. Me and ‘the bosjes van poot’
I worked around, through, against and most of the time with the mate- rial. Techniques I used were; weaving, crocheting in a line and around, sewing and coiling.
After making the work, the process of time started. A sealed moment in time but within sealing the moment of time started to live.
I let myself be inspired with the possibilities the material research gave me. Capsuling, sealing plants reminded me of using techniques for further food processes. For example, theebacks, herbs to cook with. I asked my mom to collect her already used herbs and sundried them to process them into my work.
With doing this I sealed the herbs into a new combination. I collect a routine/ time. A time of use and made this possible and therefore perso- nal to ask my mom to show this.
