...whilst also, in the style of Paul Klee, 'taking a line for a walk', quite literally.
The original photograph from which this drawing was processed held a very strong attraction, the image having a wonderful sense of space & light, & also of a strong psychological nature with its suggestion of freedom. One thinks of the mature paintings of Jackson Pollock, & their genesis in, amongst other influences, Native American sand paintings...

Soundtrack:


Belle & Sebastian 'The Boy With the Arab Strap' & 'Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant'
Lambchop 'Damaged'
