A map drawing using sticks and rocks as a measure for steps done at on a hike at Volcanic park soon after back surgery. Not going far, but taking in scale and elements of the landscape I created a map of the hike.
Redwood bark, cotton, soil, ink, watercolor – 2016
A selection of drawings from 2016. (Peter)
A book/box of drawings of abandoned rock collections found on the street or by the side of the road that don’t necessarily belong to the land they were found on. It feels sometimes ridiculous to make a book of drawings of found ordinary rocks, peoples abandoned collections that at one time meant so much. If it was about the beauty of the land, a moment in time, a keepsake of time and place, I think it’s important and a beautiful opportunity to honor it. (Lauri)
wood, ink, cotton, collage, stone, wood box – 2025
A birch bark box of single page books attached to a piece of granite with abstract landscape paintings on the “book covers” containing texts of wanderings and wonderings. Wonderings, such as, “do snakes laugh” or “where do birds sleep” while wandering through fields and streams.
(private collection)
Instructions for alternative landscape drawing. A drawing kit in an old box containing a book of instructions, ink and charcoal, a pencil, eraser, sharpener, measuring tape, compass, and a found blue crayon. The first 2 drawings were made in late December down in Santa Cruz. (Lauri)
