Egg came to being as a further exploration of the concepts explored in Psychedelic Cacti. A tree in the landscape of the Persian painting was used. This time, a Japanese Sumi brush/ink style landscape was in mind. The intention was to approach the drawing in the same manner, although taking advantage of the economy of line within Sumi works to create a more simple, less active drawing. The abstraction was based off of a simple, almost leafless tree growing on a wide hill. The branches of the tree comprise the area of the drawing with the densest concentration of shapes. The branches of the tree became the boundaries, while the 'negative space' became the foreground or subject of the design. Essentially, this drawing is about the enveloping space and the relationship it has with the tree. This drawing expresses the concept of the Sumi drawings, where each element in the lanscape not only holds equal importance, but are also intimately entwined as a whole. The concept of 'tree', 'sky' and 'ground' are but varying expressions of a single endless One. |
