IDEA 2- connections between craft, heritage and communication_02.10.23 -  04.10.23

02.10 - What do walking, weaving, observing, storytelling, singing, drawing and writing have in common? The answer is that they all proceed along lines. (Tim Ingold-A brief history of lines).

- a book that lists the textile metaphors throughout literature, philosophy(?),  stories. accompanied by illustrations both printed and sculptured (embroidery, knitted  pages, croche-effect, weaving, mark-making). 
- involve storytelling somehow? silk cotton tree approach? (silk cotton trees hold the spirits of the ancestors in the Caribbean) passing on of knowledge theme? 

THIS IS MORE IN-LINE WITH MY PRACTICE, OR HOW I’M CURRENTLY DEFINING MY PRACTICE (connections between craft, heritage and communication ........). 

04.10 - overlap of three stories intertwined with each other
- an overlap of three stories: 
_ the visual story: print/storyboard-like images
_ the overstory : under the silk cotton tree 
_ the understory : textile metaphors

THE VISUAL STORY
- drawings/prints of the little girl arriving under the silk cotton tree,
- seen in the background  of the pages

THE OVERSTORY
- ‘under the silk cotton tree’ - story about the passing on of textile knowledge from ancestors
- foreground story, always on the top  of the page

THE UNDERSTORY
- textile metaphors that could be linked to the overstory
- background story, always at the bottom of the page, like large footnotes.
