This particular piece is part of a series (of 5) that surveys the landscape from the sky. Like the rest of my work they are various sized mixed media drawings on paper with a lot of line work, transparent muted color, multilayered, with ink and pencil.
I am still trying to work out the composition and get the balance of the larger shapes and smaller areas defined at this stage, so I photograph it and study it. Most of the time I will work variations of it in my sketch book and then the next time I am back in the studio I have detailed notes on where I want to go with it. Surface and structure are very important in this series and throughout these works I am relying on the unintended relationships between the shapes and letting them evoke memories through texture, division and form.
