It’s been sunny.
I went to the Grant Institute to visit my Dad and also to meet with Gillian McCay who is the curator of the Cockburn Geological Museum. Patterns in rocks are not a new subject matter for me, but I have always worked from other people’s source material- in textbooks or from photographs of old posters (see below)
Lazurite, white horses on waves or gull flocks?
The Grant Institute offers an amazing opportunity for me to be able to do my own first hand research and photography of thin sections. A little of which I did yesterday, playing around with the microscope and camera; using it exactly like I was not in any way a scientist.
I am looking forward to planning more considered research, especially with the new projects for this summer which are in the works. In the works, to be confirmed – end of Febuary. Luckily I’m off to Marrakech on Thursday, two more shifts at work and then go. No time to worry, just enjoy.
