Idea
drawing with slime
concept
Slime grow in an irregular pattern.
The unpredictable and irregular patterns of slime are aesthetically beautiful.
Instead of paint and brush, I want to try drawing with slime as a material.
This drawing is literally alive and constantly changing by itself.
technical solution
Create an environment for slime to grow on paper.
Spread medium (2% agar in purified water) on the paper.
Place the slime and oats on the medium on the paper.

As the agar syrup medium dried, the slime also dried and turned white. (but the traces of the slime that turned white are also beautiful. )
+ comment
1. As the agar syrup medium dried, the slime also dried and turned white. Where is a best place to store the paper for the slime to grow healthy?
2. Under the right environment, slime will grow constantly. How do I stop the growth of slime when the desired pattern is reached (when I want to stop drawing)? to dry?
3.
The paper is too thin and loses its shape. Change to thick paper. But continue to work on transparent paper. Because it is more metaphoric and poetic.

In the case of the yellow drawing left in the shade without sealing, the medium dried quickly and the slime did not grow much.
