Observation Exercise

Fieldworker = Pierce Gard
Object of Documentation Log:
  Object = Tangerines!
  Dimensions = 1.5” by 2”
  Material = Tangerine skin
  Inventory Date = 09.01.10
  Location Found = Delta Gamma Kitchenette
Visual Description/sketches:


Visual Representation:

Many of the differences I noted in the tangerines had to do with the aging process. I decided to display them around a clock to represent this process, connecting the visual differences between each tangerine with the passage of time. I didn’t know which ones were older or younger but I ordered them according to looks and feel. While my representation of “aging process” distinguishes the tangerines based on their ripeness, there are so many other ways to tell one apart from another.
What differences stand out to you?
