The Coppice



I have just started working on a small series of works with a Coppice theme for a mixed exhibition at Farfield Mill in Sedbergh. I am intrigued by the nature of the cutting back to stimulate copious regrowth and the fact that the wood is then used for multiple craft use such as weaving and carpentry.


I would like to echo this cutting and weaving in my artistic process. This early example is a watercolour that has been cut up and rearranged and then layered up in photoshop. I shall now use this to generate the next piece in the process...
