Spiral Markings

The concept behind the spiral markings is to express the spiralling sequence in the trees. The markings are done out of grass woven into string, a basic technique, which is then wrapped around the tree following the direction in which the branches flow around the stem

This aspect of the project has become an interesting concept to work with as it engages the audience closer to the spiral pattern in plants.

A performance piece allowed another form of translation to find the spiral pattern flow. This interaction involved looking at the branches along the stem and using to decipher the direction they grow. Both performers negotiate and collaborate together, thoroughly observing the tree and then wrapping together.
