Here are some photos taken on Granton. I was searching for sea bricks (of which there were many…) but also came across some interesting pieces that had fragments of past buildings being reused or repurposed in the mortar. I also came across several pieces of dry dash wall that also interested me.
Below are some pictures of some experimentation with some of the found materials.
Assemblage experiments with found materials:
(Failed!) Casting attempts
I tried to cast the impressions of some of the found materials in sand by pressing the objects into the sand and then pouring plaster inside the “footprint” left behind. this failed to work as the sand was not fine enough and so i tried casting the objects themselves but this did not come out as i intended it to, with the objects sticking to the plaster, unable to be freed.
