The possibilities of form and movement seem endless.
Endlessly fascinating and endlessly different.
Each one with its own story.

Where Was I?
The landscape features most prominently in the body of my work. It is a landscape of suggestion, rather than a faithful figurative rendering; it is a landscape of fiction and abstraction. Major influences on my work have been the Canadian landscape, the tropical forest of the Congo and the land of the Mediterranean/Middle East. Born in Exeter, Ontario,I studied at the University of Prince Edward Island, McGill University in Montreal and the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
I always ask one question; when does the unconventional become so utterly conventional as to become uninteresting - dull in fact? I hope these are not dull whatever else they are. Let me know what you think.

Wow, these are a bit different! Pen and ink? collage?
ReplyDeleteyes, collage with ink. I call them 'Papiers colles' for lack of a better term. I use gift wrapping paper -- cut out forms, arrange them on paper and if it 'works' together I paste them down and draw. It's something I started doing about 12 years ago and have worked with it ever since. I usually draw in the mornings before work. There are a few in the first posts in March and April.
