The ragged and stitched effect in the 'scarred landscapes' series, looks incongruous on pristine, watercolour paper. Too stable.
I am exploring options for supports which can embody more of the fragility I am trying to convey.
Torn, pieced, and reconstructed drawing paper feels perfect. It's not something I can show here, in pictures, but the feel and sound of it is so appropriate. It is a tactile experience.
