Sometimes what I need has to be hand drawn. It's incredibly slow and the trick is to maintain similar amount of whitespace between ever changing drawn elements. I take inspiration from a range of non-character based languages and symbols. Marks are made using Sakura Micron Pigma pens - in this case 003. Sometimes I use 005 but generally for small, detailed drawings with super fine lines, I work with the 003. This fabric will never be washed although the Pigma is permanent and won't budge. Hand drawing gives me "noise free" fabric with the crisp, white background.
Priority #1: Create My CBD office sits on the edge of this mighty, murky waterway - the Brisbane River. Over the next six months I'll be working on an exhibition piece as part of the Broadstrokes artists group. Starting with the obvious, I'm making preliminary sketches to determine the substrate form. I need to consider how it will perform under the visual intent of the piece. That is, " substrate " can be used to convey those things which " underly " or " sit beneath " the primary image. Infused by a river. I need to consider the political, social, economic, ethical or moral connections. I'll also explore which materials are best suited for that purpose.
