In the bottom one you can see the huge gaps revealed in the layers of plywood beneath - it was one of those particularly hazardous pieces where once a cut is made whole sheets of the top layer want to detach themselves immediately - and you have to take care, wood glue to hand. On this sort of piece a very particular type of incidental marks happen which can sometimes be nice - the flat areas revealed may be nice for the sky and sails.
Sometimes on a particularly intuitive day I can suspect how a piece of wood might cut but not always, which makes life more exciting. Lots of complaints about this Asian plywood on-line but I always think - go on, live dangerously....
The trees seem to be making themselves more anthropomorphic - those bending solicitously like carers or health workers, one already wounded it seems....seems a bit whimsical written down but its the sort of thing which goes post hoc subliminally through my head while continuing working and that I am currently sharing with you...
You may find your own ideas and interpretations but the bandaged tree also reminds me of those Tree of Jesse images rooted in medieval loins, something about the positioning perhaps, plenty more possibilities, but partly it just gives structure to the design...
Last night my neighbours jackpot Ocado delivery ( I just love these late night disinfecting sessions) delivered a swede instead of celeriac - quite a different proposition...however I do have cream and nutmeg to hand fortuitously and P will eat anything with enough cream on it...and fortunately neither of us have weight issues beyond trying to keep body and soul together ...
bring on the comfort chocs! happy weekend......
