I have been inspired by my visit to Seahenge to draw two pictures of the tree that links two worlds. Neither drawing quite captures what I wanted to convey, but I like the bright blues and the birds – free to fly wherever – in the colour version. I included a few figures of “souls” in the pen and ink drawing, small amongst the other-world branches, like dancers.
The figures remind me of a project I discovered a while ago called “TreeSpiritProject”, by photographer Jack Gescheidt.
I like the juxtapostion of the two styles, the detail in the pen and ink and the colour in the painting
oh, these are so exquisite! i see night-time and moon in the black and white… the starry night swirls and waves and rooted dancing spirits… the colour one reminds me of a celebration of life… the confetti, colored ‘leaves’ and white soaring birds in roots / branches… i love turning them upside down, too! the galaxies of the b&w one in the roots… inspired… thank you for sharing your creations!
Hi Alexi……wow the tree spirit project is amazing. What a clever photographer and beautiful photos. I love discovering your connections to other projects. It is always a treat visiting your blog- its like opening up a treasure box full of visual delights and interesting comments and observations ! I have been away for 2 weeks so was excited to see what you have been up to.
I really like both your roots to the sky ( great title ) images. I think the black and white ink and pen one resonates a little more with me and I like the “dark” aspect to it.
I love your organic swirling style. It’s very magical and charming.
