Thoughts on scored wood.

Thought: Upon sitting at this table, I was interested in the origins of these markings that appeared on the edges of the wood. The way the channels seem to have a lighter edge, shows a difference in depth of the carvings. Although these marks were most probably caused through woodworm, or other general wear and tear, there is a symbolic nature within these scores, that resemble similarities with ancient runes. The richness from the past life of the wood creates a level of intrigue. The tactile qualities to the materials, invites you to trace the channels with your fingers like lines on a map. I would be open to using wood as a key material within my artistic practice, not only for it's organic beauty but for the metaphors of homeland, and the primitive language it bears.
