Dark Days
It is dark days, change is afoot building up underneath the surface of my everyday life. Unpredictable and strange weather bursts out creating unease and disaster; like peering into the dark, the hairs on the back of my neck are prickling.
Using black paper I draw landscapes referencing source photos but moving quickly into a reimagined landscape. The colours look too bright, the black paper heightening the contrast; the colours are flat, the blackness is a void, a nothing.
