View of whole sheet of paper [4ft x 5ft] - drawing 48 x 6inches Cold, grey and wintry. I have drawn 179 leaves, 143 squares with circles, 4 feathery twirls and 14 fat-line geometric square shapes, all belonging to the inner outside edge. My upper right arm is aching, as is my hand.

fantastic Annabel. This is growing and growing and keeping true to itself too. And you are posting every day! What an example! I have posted twice today now.
This blog is about a series of large drawings that map the transcription and deconstruction of the images, patterns and motifs that make up a Willow Pattern plate. In exploring familiar, traditional and iconic images, like the 18th century Willow Pattern, we are often unaware of the details that make up the whole. A deconstruction of such an recognisable image often makes us reappraise its place and value in society. I am drawing these patterns and motifs one by one, day by day onto a large sheet of Fabriano paper attached to the studio wall. The end result will be a series of large drawings that will record a thought and decision-making process about how to undo such a familiar image.
Phase 1 Feb-March 2007 - Experimental drawing phase. Phase 2 June - Nov 2007 - Categorisation of each whole motif. Phase 3 Jan - March. 2008 - Deconstruction of whole images.
