Trametes Versicolor

Drawing, 420 x 297mm – February to June 2016 – Faber Castell Polychromos coloured pencil, Posca and BIC pen on paper.

By observing a tiny sample of a Trametes Versicolor collected in Vosges woods during a workshop, and spending hours drawing it, I apprehended its texture. An inherent quality that defines an abstract and non-repetitive pattern. Each part of the drawing was afterwards used, to compose new patterns.

With this kind of work, observation drawing became a process to highlight the unnoticed of our environment. The work of colour was also very important, I heightened every colour in order to open a new imagination related to the sample.
