There hasn't been a lot of time of late to get on with work on the Artech board but I can always find time to do a bit of sketchbook work of one sort or another, be it little more than doodling an idea or working out how it might look as a finished piece.
Those who have followed these page(s) may have noticed I feature trees and arches, especially ecclesiastical ones. For quite some time now I've been exploring some way of bringing these elements together. After all, ancient sites have evidence of arcades of trees incorporated in them. The lines of pillars and connecting arches in churches and cathedrals seem to have more to them than merely holding the roof up. There may well be theological explanations but I am only looking at the aesthetic aspects.
This sketchbook page shows two pillars replaced as trees. It has something of a surrealist look about it but is a work in progress. There'll be more to come, I'm sure.
This sketch is being worked up into a drawing 50 x 35 cm. currently as a graphite/pencil drawing but other media may be used later on. Who knows where this could lead?
