Floresence is the fourth drawing I am submitting to Open Eye Gallery Edinburgh for this year's annual online Christmas exhibition On a Small Scale. All works in the exhibition measure 21x15cm in either landscape or portrait format. After I handed in my works I realised I didn't mention 'monotype' along with mapping pens on paper in the materials description on the backs of the works when I was writing the labels - I think I was too focused on spelling 'Awagami Kozo' (the paper used) correctly! So, in case you were wondering, the monotype parts are the fuzzy brown marks resembling stony textures, plus impressions of plants. These were laid down first in oil-based relief printing ink and allowed to dry thoroughly before working into and around them with black and red ultra-fine mapping pens. I probably forgot to mention it because the oil-based ink takes quite a long time to dry, and I just live with the papers around the studio in the mean time, forming ideas as to how to approach the works and what they might become. By the time I actually get around to the drawing bit they have become intrinsic to the paper itself in my mind, so it didn't occur to me to mention it.

Welcome to my work journal - a weekly update on drawings, work in progress, doodles and day-dreaming.
I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the heatherelizawalker. with weebly.com and it will work again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dissolving PeopleA symbol on the footpath outside a local primary school gradually disappearing as the image breaks up and wears away until eventually it is obliterated by leaves and barely discernible. Photographed at intervals of several months between February 2021 and November 2022, oldest at the top.
(My shoes look so new in the first pic, and note the transition to new phone in the last photo). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
