I promised to keep posting work in progress, so here are my upturned boats in progress. I am actually planning out at least some of the print on the computer before I try and make the stencils by hand.
It's a question of what can be positive and what can be negative. Pencil marks and brush strokes cannot be negative (obviously) but paper cuts can be, I guess. Maybe I've made this too hard for myself!
I have no idea how to make multiple layers accurate. I mean, obviously if you cut a boat out of paper then do do have a perfect positive and negative shape.
Anyway there it is! Do let me know what you think.
Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Built on a series of islands connected by bridges. The sea breeze in winter, constantly changing the colour pf the sky and sea.
Tarini Monga joins one of the Imagination Walks in Panjim, Goa along salt pans and reflects on material interactions within marshy spaces. This short field note from her diary highlights thoughts around shifty matter, changing forms of ownership and systems of land use in Goa.

Tired of theory and abstract matter? Our website is the place to learn about coastal sand.
The S.AND website is collecting 'tangible' accounts of ongoing ethnographic research in the Afrasian Sea and other oceans. For instance, check out Lukas Ley's fieldnote on diving in the harbour of Marseilles and the formation of "natural concrete": https://s-and.org/blog/touching-calcification. Over the year, there will also be articles, pictures, and other insights from our fieldwork and even the occasional joke. #sand#anthropology#concrete#fieldwork @academicchatter
