Les crayons graphites font leur retour sur mon bureau avec cette petite scène tout droit sortie de ma tête. C’est plaisant de dessiner sans photo de référence, ça ne m’arrive pas si souvent que ça. Mais grâce à ce petit dessin, je me rends compte que c'est possible.

After a little more than a year of making work that's largely been monochromatic or bichromatic, I've been wanting to get back to some more colorful stuff, and have done so through this new series of drawing-watercolors that I'm calling "Abyssal Gardens." For a while, I've had this image in my head of being among a wilderness where the sky is no sky but rather drooping masses of vegetation, presumably hanging down from even more enormous arboreal forms -- and, beneath all of this, a landscape of rolling hills, exploding with the colors of all sorts of flowers. Exploring the landscape, one finds strange structures here and there which seem to have grown from the ground, instead of having been built.

I've really been enjoying making these, and, despite their totally imaginary quality, I think that the buildings express pretty well how much visual interest can realistically come from just the judicious use of horizontals and verticals -- the articulation of one visual domain from another through the spacing of these divisions; and the placement and formal variation of windows (and doors). I've begun to think that few architects were able to express this latter quality better than Charles R. Mackintosh (see, for example, his drawing for the south elevation of the Glasgow School of Art).

Blue mist mountains.

Originally completed on 19th December 2023.

My interpretation: just a pretty landscape in the mornings, mists of the mountains.
