Project Outcomes
I was very surprised by the outcome of my project regardless if the work was created during the summer of winter. Typically the environmental factors would in essence leach the carbon off the burnt logs onto the canvas and I thought that having a shelter overtop of the canvas would eliminate that transfer of carbon to the canvas. However, it appears that the shelter acted as trap for wind-blown material resulting in a lot of soil particles or wind blow charcoal getting captured underneath the covers and in essence filling the negative spaces with material leaving the canvas underneath of the burnt logs unmarked.
When I started the project I treated each canvas as a separate entity (as shown in the first six photos) but as I began going through the project I wanted to see more of a connection between the canvases that were with and without a cover. So I would place the burnt logs across both canvases that were placed side by side to each other and then place the shelter over one of them. This treatment to create this connection between the two canvases I think added to a better understanding of the process of carbon movement from the logs.
