not very impressed with this one, but underneath it, or inside of it, seems to be a recurring/returning cuboid fascination. stemming from a quote by goethe, regarding the vertical and horizontal drives of growth, my drawings occasionally render that concept as cubes. in this pattern there is also an alternating vertical and horizontal mark making going on.
this has sculptural potential as a form of drawing apparatus. i'm thinking that maybe the hanging branch on the bottom could have the lower, pointed end burnt into charcoal, so that it marks the paper on the ground. the wind or vibration from the upper branch could generate the motion and create the drawing. this could form just one part of the work, the next step could be to then add my own drawing overlaid onto the charcoal markings. perhaps something more graphic, using ink and refined lines, or curves, as a counterbalance to the organic markings of the branch.
bikes have been a recurring motif lately too. surely as a result of the bicycle culture in europe. this drawing is supposed to be from a bird's eye view, looking down on two tree stumps that would still be in the ground (so the bike would actually be horizontal to the ground). might look good as a photograph.
COOL!!!
