Building Blocks

This was originally started as a nudge to get me back into drawing something, however it has ended up being framed and on a wall!

Devoid

Cow

I have been rather out of doing any art over the past couple of weeks for various reasons, however I have been using my creativity in a slightly different way, I learnt to crochet! Since then, I have been busy making lots of things, and thought I'd share my first crocheted cow with you.

The Making Place

Hunter's Retreat

'Hunter's Retreat' (thanks go out to Ian who came up with the title), was inspired after seeing three different takes on one shape, and is primarily a pen and ink drawing, however a paintbrush was also used. The piece is actually A3 in size, so I've had to take a photograph of it, unfortunately some of the texture of the artwork has been lost due to the conversion and size reduction needed to display it here.

The Wanderer

I created this montage after becoming inspired by a shadow cast over one the wardrobes. The piece is made using old photographic paper that has changed colour due to its exposure to sunlight. Over time is it also possible that each piece of paper will continue to slightly change hue, so it will be interesting for me to see it in a year's time.

XV

I had become annoyed and frustrated prior to drawing this piece, and it wasn't until I had finished it, that I realized it had come from somewhere very deep within myself, basically what in Jungian psychology is called the shadow.

The reason I have called the piece 'XV' is it also appears to be my own representation of the 15th card in the Tarot's Major Arcana. Due to this realization, I might re-draw the piece more precisely and not in charcoal; and am contemplating whether I should experiment in drawing my own representations of the other cards.
