In certain landscapes, particular formal conundrums materialize as I draw. In this Monoc Forest, the intersection of the vertical and horizontal, how that is manifest in an image circles round my brain. It is the sheer steepness of the land, the up close bark of fat trees, and the deep vistas of rushing creeks. Back to that juxtaposition of the flat, the elevation and the perspective, the implication of deeper space. What obsessed me making this drawing was finding a frame, the role that the edge plays in either exaggerating that horizontal vertical intersection, or massaging it into a more normalized view. Matisse's images of Nice are the source of inspiration.
