Foundation Course

I figured I'd start with my foundation course this time last year, then get up to scratch with where I am now.




For this project I was inspired by nature, with a particular focus on growth and layering of forms. I collected bark and lichen and painted and drew from these forms obsessively. I then begun painting lichen as I remembered it onto bark, mimicing its growth in nature. I must have made well over a hundered of these by the end.


I spent some time considering how to arrange these pieces, as individual pieces, small 'islands' or growths and eventually for the final piece, a large 'organism' or structure.
