Graphite Rubbings of Crosses
-----------------------------------------------------

- In the Art Museum in Hastings there is a room decorated with intricately carved wooden panels. Many of them featured cross grids which I tried to get rubbings off. Challenges presented themselves with the designs that had only small raised areas and the rest at a lower elevation so the rubbings were only partially successful. However I quite liked the unpredictability of the design that emerged. I very much enjoy the shadow effects and wondered how similar effects might be achieved with textiles.

- this design made me think of the close relations of crosses and stars , lines intersecting, aligning, repeating all suggesting a certain symbolic communication depending on the viewers predisposed ideas of what a star is defined as and what a cross is.
- Here the peaks of the central flower design was the highest raised area and prevented the lines underneath from rendering with the crayon I had used . I am hoping to perhaps sketch this design to explore the different pattenr connections

- This image comes from a metal grate, or ventilation cover that was found on the floor of the room. Having had a lot of footfall over the years and interesting patina had built up
- When making the rubbing I enjoyed the different textured lumps and bumps that seem to give the design a much more lively character then perhaps a flat polished metal surface would have.

- I particularly liked the " puffed out" shadow effect that the graphite rubbing resulted in on the cross design. Perhaps the particular edge of the crayon I was using rendered it in this way.
- I imagine using a hand-applique technique with a padded insert on a soft woven fabric could well be used to represent this idea
