Time Lapse Drawing

I tend not to do things by halves and these drawings are a bit much but that’s also kind of the point. Abundance and tangled, scrabled rambling networks is the point. These drawings are A2 tracing paper and Stabilo woody pencils in response to time lapse videos of mycelium growth. I found videos on YouTube and I have been drawing in real time with the time lapse - an interesting parallel in itself - and considering the artificial interface that facilitates the intuitive, ‘natural’ process of drawing of biological processes, but through the lens of a camera to facilitate viewership. I really like how the video becomes integral to the drawings, which would not be possible without, as a few seconds on the time lapse represents weeks of growth in real time. I have been layering the drawings to see how they work as complex, inter-related systems. Process video is below showing the mycelium being videoed, which I then draw and video the drawing.
