Recording and Interpreting Program: Visit the site (old shale quarry on pain mountain) sit there as for a while and think of nothing but the site and gather as many details as you can from what you see. Once you come back to the classroom interpret what you learned about the site into a plaster cast 4” x 6” x 16” that can convey to others what you found.
Design Intent: One of the key elements in visiting the quarry that I saw, was the element of layering. Everywhere I looked reminded me of that element, from the layered shale walls of the showing thousands of years of metamorphosed clay particles to the birch bark tree shedding layers of its bark in the middle of the quarry. This element above all took precedence in my design. These plaster casts represent repeated attempts to accurately depict layering like what was found at the site, with the final cast being most accurate.
