Ripple Image; The Lugger transformed by John Lambourn in Newlyn, now an object of beauty to be seen around the Mounts Bay in fine weather, the distinctive rectangle of blackest black velvet in the tarred hull and the earth red terracotta sail lugg-rig bring an aesthetic sublety to a pragmatic world of tradition.
I'm making some frottaged images at size A2 of charcoal renderings of the Ripple being refurbished using Gorse Charcoal I retrieved from a big gorse fire on Cudden Point about fifteen years ago, the characteristics are explosive and erratic since, unlike willow the gorse can harbour a nut of compressed carbon in the otherwise smoothly burnt wood leading a long continuous line into an abrupt ending of blankness or a visable splot of charcoal.
This unplannable dimension helps to offset my willful insistence towards figurative perception, bringing an element of disruption, ambiguity and converting the "thin air" of concentrated observation or design into more of a struggle between the qualities of the paper or the drawing material, the two worlds of the subject and the outcome, the first being a mere starting point for the latter.
The original work rendered in printed flax, black woolen yarns with armenian bole measures 600mm x 600mm and a greeting card image of the original at size A5 is available
