I was turning over ideas as to how to take them into the delicate realm of drawing today when I received an invitation to submit work for Open Eye Gallery's Christmas exhibition. I thought the Voynich inspired works could be perfect for that, but didn't yet know which direction to take or whether I had anything at all there beyond an idea. I didn't want to lose their quirky nature, so before accepting the gallery's invitation, I took an unprecedented step to see if my ideas would work - I traced outlines of the previous colourful experiments on my iPad. This enabled me to put several compositions together quickly and experiment with different drawing techniques.
Working in Procreate, layers' visibility can be toggled on and off. I was interested in the marks where outlines were removed; they look so airy.
