Dryads/Mimi Spirits/ Personifications of an Essence of Trees. Early investigations through drawing. Making manifest the invisible. Oak twigs as start point.
I have spent from April till October on this drawing. Perhaps because of the Covid Effect, I have not been able to make sense of the drawing. It feels confused and muddled and lacking in meaning. A turning point for me perhaps. I shall just wait to see what happens next.
