Inspired by book Vitamin D I thought that I need to come back to this exercise as I was not quite happy with the result. No, it was a good composition with lines but boring, rather conventional.
“As the works featured in this book convey, drawing is no longer limited to the notebook or the preparatory sketch, nor to pencil on paper. Drawing is for this book defined as a mark-making process used to produce a line-based composition … today’s drawing range from monumental to micro, from conceptual to three-dimensional, from black-and-white to full-color.” (Dexter, 2013, 5)
I pushed this idea forward and the line became is everything, an easel, a chair, an electrical extension cable, this is a lines ones created by a human being as the same way the sheet of paper or canvas was made. If I use the line but instead of draw/paint it I depict a matter of where this line should be?!
I’m depicting a material which in drawing allows a viewer to see this line. I choose a branch of the tree and draw on it an impression of this natural line.
It can be presented as on a flat surface as well as the three-dimensional composition of the lines.
