Turning pages and making discoveries. I had made some quick sketches of some twigs with leaves that were relevant to some tree frottages created for inclusion in my sketchbook. I couldn't identify the specific trees so thought I would draw them so as to have record for reference and establish name of tree. Using a permanent marker pen I drew the three sketches below:
The drawings below are bleed through images created by use of black marker pen on matt absorbent cartridge paper. The residue rendition has a much more expressive and delicate approach, the harsh lines of the direct drawing are not represented. These are alive, not static, they echo the transience of nature, fading away, some elements faster than others.
I have also included some photographs of tree blossom that has fallen onto the pavement. Chance and random where and how they fell, I had first seen them when the pavement was wet which provided a much stronger contrast. Photographed in dry conditions, separated from the tree yet presenting a different perception of beauty, fragile against the man made materials.
