Update: The next unintentional mark making sculpture

After using the steel chimney as a relatively sized for interview and reflective experimental example of my idea, the next step is to make another on a larger scale that's visceral and aesthetic enough to hold a viewer to reflect on it.

Extracting marks from the sculpture

Just a reminder of the sculpture

I did three quick pen drawings of the marks as unfinished to match the unfinished essence of the metal itself

Scans of destructed sculpture

The sculpture pressed directly onto a scanner, a detailed and hazed look into marks made on and into it.

Going on now to do automatistic pen drawings and print directly onto paper.
