 Those of you who saw my last few posts, will, I hope recognise these forms. Here I have portrayed them with strong colours to create depth and rhythm. Much light!

 Taking my experimentation a step further: Here is a sketch of the withered leaves. Alas while fixing a previous graphite sketch, some ink leaked on to this sketch...destroying the fragile "tipples". I am glad I documented this one before the accident... Much light!  This week's post is a small study done with withered leaves from my plants in my atelier. Working from a photograph (one of many I did, with varying compositions), I worked with my cutting knife and board, and several photocopies of my composition, I arrived at this notan composition. Hoping to take it from here, and hoping it will figure large scale some time, in some way. Much light!  In this week's post, I would like to share with you a study I did using symbols I derived from Warli Art: here a notan cut out of the roots of a tree. I have a small collection of tribal textile art from India, and use the depicted elements sometimes as a source of inspiration. Here I am playing with repeating elements in different tints and shades of the recycled paper I used. The results are always astonishingly different and a great source of satisfaction: I cannot stop looking at this rhythm. The best part is that one can create numerous patterns that are always a feast for the eyes and soul. Here I am still exploring ways of integrating organic structures into the sublime colour fields I so love. Much light! |
