Here is a collection of some of the grids I’ve collected. The first A3 page is that of ‘made’ grids.
3.1: Page of grids
3.2: Close up of page of grids – placed on a black background to help see the grids
3.3: Close up of Grids page – black grids on white page
I’ve become quite obsessed with grids in the natural environment – especially in decomposed leaves. I picked a lot of leaves and have preserved them with PVA glue. The following images are some of the natural grids from my allotments.
3.4: Decomposing pumpkin leave
3.5: Close up of decomposing pumpkin leaf
3.6: Perpetual spinach leaf
3.7: A really decomposed pumpkin leaf which was more like soft lacy fabric when holding it
3.8: Decomposing sycamore seed
3.9: Part-ecomposed ivy leaf
3.10: Skelton leaf – just like a soft green lace
3.11: Decomposing nasturtium seed pods
3.12: Frozen rose petal showing grid pattern (this one I couldn’t preserve!)
3.13 Beautiful droplets of water on black gardening mesh
Then I dug up some grids!
3.14: Old carpet dug up on the allotment.
I have a large piece of underlay backing that is delicate but has survived and I’ve brought it home to add to the collection!
