SPANISH MOSS - WORKS ON PAPER

Living line, I am attracted to drawing and painting Spanish moss and other epiphytes for many years. It was forbidden fruit in adolescence, which I’m sure influences me. These drawings are from direct observation after pinning a clump above my drawing table, moving it into different shapes for each drawing. I’m inspired by ghost-like subtle contrasts of filtered light, a knotted intricacy creating its form. Thriving on air alone, it embodies the fragility of an interconnected ecosystem.
