Desintegration and new marks....Archeology?

Added on June 19, 2017 by sabine kussmaul.

I took this chalk dust covered corsage out with me on a run. I strapped it against my skin, wearing it underneath the t-shirt. In order to keep it in shape, I 'cling-filmed' to my torso, to make it stay in place. It did stay in place, and the heat, friction and body movement made it mark my skin's surface. The colour of the brown changed in places too....
This reminds me strangely of Archeology: Taking decay and the natural processes of desintegration as a mark making process. 
There is also this dimension about who marks what? Does the skin and body mark the drawing, or, does the drawing mark the body,....who is the agent here...or, how do the agents collaborate?
