Another book, this one is from last year. Exploring how the form the paper takes changes the perception of the drawings; transforming them into something that is seen through a gap; there is more beyond the borders.

I remember this one, seen it before. Liking the blog, well done. It looks really good photographed.
Comment by Leanne October 9, 2009 @ 2:56 pmThis is really nice work, I’d love to see that in person. They remind me a lot of the Cape Byron Lighthouse, how you can see a picture through the windows on the northern side. Did you draw any inspiration from there?
Comment by xobs October 10, 2009 @ 8:56 pmHi Leanne, nice to see you commenting. I’m glad you like the blog, I think you should start one too.
Breanna, I wouldn’t say the lighthouse was a conscious reference but it is part of my visual memory and I can definitely see the connection. I think we should have tea some time and you can leaf through my books.
Comment by Kate October 13, 2009 @ 7:00 amThat is just so utterly beautiful. A lot of your work has such a quiet, meditative, contemplative feel to me. Staring out windows at clouds especially does that.
Comment by JNgaio October 14, 2009 @ 12:20 pmThanks Jessie, I think contemplative is a really lovely way of describing it.
Comment by Kate October 14, 2009 @ 4:44 pmYes contemplative is an excellent way to describe it. I’m a big fan of the colours and medium (the medium which of course informs the lovely intensity of the colours) in this work.
