Well Mark, The one thing that's right up or is that down your street, an Oriental theme out of a small cored blank or any limited size small piece, then why not a large bowl form, Ash or best Sycamore, pierced, textured and painted black, maybe scorched branches and leaves, then inside the white giving the balance.
Next big quesion Why not go make it .. indeed ...
Cheers David
Hi David
It may be the time of morning, but I don't understand what you are saying here. ?
Is it just the highlighted you didn't understand ... It was meant as your thoughts, asking if I had that vision, why not go and make the piece, trust it clears what I intended to mean.
Cheers David
Sorry David
It was far too early for me yesterday, first time up at 0530 for a demo in a couple of months and what with being washed out from the virus my brain did not start working until, well, I can not recall.
In relation to the picture.
I have taken it as a point of inspiration for a piece.
At the moment I am merely thinking deeply about what the picture means to me, what the moon and the autumn leaves mean. Thoughts of childhood days at my grandparents when I would look out of the upstairs windows and be told what the constellations are.
Jotting down notes and sketching ideas and from this researching, the moon, tidal changes, leaf formations/structure, decay, the meaning of autumn in various religions, Pagan moon goddess, Pagan tea leaf readings, religion. Collecting reference pictures from my childhood and other sources for a storyboard. After I have absorbed myself into this for a few weeks I will start to think of a project based on what stirs in my grey matter.
At this stage I am not thinking of what type of piece it will be, bowl, hollow form or sculpture based as for me it will only distract from connecting with the subject/picture.
I will the thread updated but it may be a while as I am snowed under with work at the moment. This being a large amount of the time I think while I produce my bread and butter work.
