Exploring the route, we collected rubbings, photographs and objects to record the various textures found throughout. After finding a precedent, textiles artist Sandra Adams who creates textures and objects found in nature using a combination of materials techniques, we began thinking about how we could create the textures we found on the route. We then recreated the textures of bark, porous rock, rust, metal and grey house bricks, analysed the findings and concluded that there was not a particular area where certain textures and materials dominate, or a pattern of textures as the route progressed, but a mixture throughout. We believe this shows tension between the new and the old, and natural and man-made textures through the route.
