Lost in the cloud

Lost in the cloud

Following the maze with our fingers

Looking for an exit,

searching for the entrance

We navigated by the stars

Blue glowing rectangles

Riding the wavelengths

until the sky turned cloudy

Our eyes grew tired,

and our path was washed away,

as we lost our circadian rhythm

Looking into the light,

the mesmerizing blue light

A sleepless town.

Creating a drawing

In this piece the paper is prepared with water and ink washes, to create surface patterns. The wet paper was pressed against a zest grater to create tiny circular indents on the paper, before a dip pen was used to create a line drawing.

Water and ink were applied to the paper and moved around the page to create a maze like pattern.

More lines were added to the drawing using the dip pen and drawing inks.

Finally, layers of blue ink were added to the image with a brush.
