Sue Arrowsmith images are projected and then recorded and traced
in pencil, creating a mass of lines that flicker and
undulate across the paper. The compositions reveal the
linear structure of the landscape, poised between intensely detailed abstract
lines and shapes and the more recognizable forms of the land.
Arrowsmith works without colour, preferring the sheen of graphite on
paper, exploring the different tones and shades that can be achieved through
this method. These large scale designs can take many weeks to complete but by
using a photographic template Arrowsmith ensures the drawing is loose and free.
I decided to look at Arrowsmith for my final major project because I like the way she works in negative and positive on the nature also that she projects the image on the sheet so she can draw the nature.
It stands out and is different because I have never seen this technique before, I think i would like to experiment with this process for my final major project.
