My friend Carole found this on the tip. Yes, it has lots of (trace)... marks on it. She was right to call it Vincent (in true artist's tradition) because the left ear is missing. The man from parcel force did not dare to come into the porch, he thought Vincent was real. So here we have a really good example of artistic illusion.

Part of a larger image on canvas. 

21 Rue Antoine-Thomas, Ivry-sur-Seine.

This is part of a series of five drawings that deal with the sense for the inside feeling in small apartments from when I lived in large urban environments.

25 cm x 25 cm, pencil, ink, fabric, thread.

 

This one fascinates me. My sewn sketches of inner-city structures are on top of another painting of building details.

Floorplan as revealed by an excavation, incomplete. Next to a "dense-ness" of texture.

Plaster, glue, thread and paints on canvas 23 cm x 32 cm x 4 cm.

A thin layer of lines, hinting at buildings and human activity sit on top of heavily textured material. Glue, varnish, acrylic paint and inks

130 cm x 50 cm x 4 cm

Materials work their own chemistry here. The lower areas have lots of texture, the top parts are delicate linework only produced by the touch of yarn heavy with paint.
