Trees..
I decided to do Trees as a subject because I know little about them and want to find an interesting narrative with them where ever that may lead.
I went to Harewood near Leeds to get some photos. I realised I'd spent a whole hour in the church grave yard photographing trees and found it a peaceful place to be. I didn't hear or see another person for ages which is a change from spending time in Leeds.
Patterns and shape
Each tree has it's own personality once you get a closer look. I enjoyed making some drawings of the trees' bark and structure. I tried to focus on silhouettes and patterns of the trees.
The forest was a kind of graveyard of dead wood and fallen trees. I started to think about the exposed roots and what happens underground.
Layering and pattern
Overlaying line drawing?
Infinite amount of leaves
Repeated mark making?
I also found an old tomb under the church
