Insertion Line
Ethan Burley, Miksa Albert In our first Ranch session we worked with a forest which was interesting to us as it is not possible to do in a ‘workshop’. The main aim was to mark the trees that were to be cut if needed. These specific trees were growing within a grove of Birch trees and so these would be the first to utilize if the timber was needed in future projects. In a minimal way of marking we wanted to highlight/emphasise the beauty of the different trees and create a visually attractive spot. We did this by aligning the marks from a position to form a line that matched the horizon. We then made a bench to signify this position allowing the project to guide anyone curious enough to stumble upon it. The seats themselves, we decided, were to be made purely from materials found within the grove which meant fixings and such were also out of the question. A second bench was placed with a different perspective of the markings with ideas for more. From these positions it created entirely different horizon lines and visual experiences.
