Thinking around current work on Isla del Sol sketch
- VB comment -working at too large a scale, work out palette at smaller scale/ collage bits etc.
Contemplating this at 5.0 am having delivered granddaughter her bottle...trying to articulate what I am aiming for (prerequisite for aiming it would seem, otherwise aimless??)
landscape concerns
- landform, particularly related to erosion and influence of man
- settlement patterns influenced by topography/climate
- landscape as a serial viewing experience / passage of time (seconds/seasonal/geological/memory)
Figurative / Abstract
Abstraction as a means of accentuating character
- degree of abstraction- should retain some demonstrable link with source landscape
- colour and its role in defining / creating space
- importance of 'intention'
Intestingly Chris Jenks, in Visual Culture, argues that 'abstraction' can be regarded as a perspectival issue, that it is concerned with altering the size and relative prominence of aspects of phenomena in relation to their original place. Essentially traditional perspective is a form of abstaction- it simplifies the relationship between the eye, brain and object.
