Set free to the movement of the Nightingale

This drawing features my friend Sohi, two fake birds called Yietta and Unknown, a chair and the Japanese Aralia plant Tim gave me. It was too hard to take a photo of the whole drawing so again here are details from it. This drawing and the two below (Aralia and Okra to Autumn) are part of the works on Paper show at Brunswick Street Gallery currently on and running until 10 may.

Aralia and okra

The first drawing is the silhouette of a Japanese Aralia plant over several layers of house paint on drawing paper.
The second drawing is called Okra to Autumn and is the silhouette of dried okra and autumn leaves repeated, deconstructed, drawn over. There are areas of detail and areas of generalisation. Was a really interesting process. Think Im going to do more of this kind of thing.

faustina y ricardo

This is a silhouette drawing of my friend Faustina and a green lowrider bicycle named ricardo. It is mainly 6B greylead on drawing paper and some orange scent house paint. Its quite subtle so difficult to photograph.

work in process

ive been documenting the dying process of cut flowers with silhouettes and drawn detail. i think a lot about this process and making connections and generalisations with the process of flowers with all life. This drawing is on a large slab of wood, more lines to be drawn soon.
