What makes a mark and what takes a mark?

This exercise intended to understand the nature of surfaces that takes a mark and medium that can possibly leave it's impression on it. I enjoyed this exercise as it opens to a lot new possibilities to explore.

Cracks and deposition on old withered wall

Sunlight making an impression on the mountain because of Tyndall effect

Engraved chants from Buddhism on stones.

Mud walls with textures made with fingers, while the mud is still wet.

Beautifully aged murals in Buddhist monasteries painted in natural colors.

Wood sculpture carved from tree trunk.

Creepers growing naturally over the walls creating patterns.

Old wall of a fort with marks of wearing out over the years.

Temples carved out of rocks.

Weaving a swatch made me realize, weaving is leaving a mark on air itself.
