The above resulted in a piece I call 'Black Ivy'. Made from different sized and shaped wood, I painted the pieces different shades of grey and black, with the desire to create a ciytscape effect once stuck together. However, with these city like structures I wanted to create the shape of an Ivy leaf, one of nature greastest parasites.
I then weaved Ivy through the Structure to enhance the shape of the piece. Although I was unable to carry out the following, I had hoped to photgraph this piece in many different locations, gradually moving from a rural area to a city area. As this would have occured, The ivy would have gradually rottened, being fresh and green in the country side, and dead and crumpled in the city scene. I t would have been a good reflection on the effect urbanisation has on nature.
