Abstraction studies
Tonight I have had some fun abstracting the bottle tree I drew the other day - see my previous post. They are such an interestingly shaped tree, especially their trunks and hold lots of possibilities. For a long time I have considered their potential for a piece of textile work so started playing with some abstract shapes with that in mind.I think that there are some possibilities in these ideas and I will look to developing the idea a little more when I have finished my university year. Only 5½ weeks of the semester to go and then 3 whole months to focus on artwork. You can see why I am looking forward to it.

Very interesting, Jen. For sure, it's an odd looking tree, hardly believe it's a tree!

It was very interesting to read about the bottle tree. I like your idea for a textile piece and think that the study in the upper right corner would very dynamic in this regard.

I like these a lot (and I love bottle trees).

They all look interesting and visually stimulating. I agree with suzanne, the upper right corner looks very nice.

Love what you have done with this Jen, they look like lino cuts and would be great turned into textiles, doing soething like I did with Jae Maries would be interesting.

Jen, I love these. They remind me of Margaret Preston, I hope that is a compliment. They have the same strength yet delicacy I see in her work. Can't wait to see what the textile piece will be.
