these are throwbacks to some of my earliest drawings at the start of my postgrad. the earlier drawings usually had these branch/twig geyser things piercing through chairs mostly. here they are erupting from the ground and either swallowing up spheres or possibly projecting them out. for some reason i see the spheres as those exercise balls.
on the latter image, i can actually see the forms making some pretty fun outdoor lamps, with glowing spheres of colour.
this time the geysers are sort of interacting with trees. this makes me think about how my work sometimes shows nature or natural symbols that mutate and come alive to act/interact. there's something philosophical inside that concept, i'm sure of it.
another invented plant / speculative flora.
this is a random pattern arrangement of cumulative mark making. this sort of arrangement comes out quite regularly in my work. it's almost always just a build up of massed shapes, intuitively composed, to evoke the structure or pattern of chaos. or something.
this one takes the leaf patterns i have been using lately as the units of form. i'm thinking that, rather than intuitive composition, i could use a mapping configuration, where each circular mass denotes a particular tree, perhaps from a park, from a walk that i take or some other territory.
more tethering, this time a sort of inward constriction of self control.
