 Imprinted Seal - Exhibition 

Title : Perfumed Gardens, 2024

Pastel and mixed media on paper

Second double-sided panel of watchful Eyes drawing

Music: Various Deep Purple and Rock music Artists (with lyrics); Chicken Foot Best+ Live album 2017

Derek & the Dominos Live at Fillmore 1994

In this artwork abstract marks were used to express various Rock music compositions with lyrics including the song Apre’x Vous Deep Purple, with lyrics, various songs by Deep Purple, songs by the band Chicken Foot and Derek of the Dominos.

The artwork was drawn with the metaphor of a garden of sorts in mind.

The artwork was done with pastel linear mark making technique on glazed and washes of acrylic medium to the music of the above songs using a technique I developed called sound Travel Project. Whereby I paint the rhythm of the music real time often using both hands to record the beat of the songs.

The principals of sound Travel are:

Areas of drawing are established, analysis of levels of sound begins to take shape.

Sensitivity in lines, depth of colour parallel to high pitches or low.

Directions of sound are noted vertically, horizontally, diagonally.

Use of both hands for positive and negative polarity sense.

There are 2  levels to the artwork the first, level 1 I used pastel shavings in clear acrylic glaze to denote lights and personal objects.(Photographic account in photographic documentation of still objects in the home of the artist))

Level 2 I used a technique of wet on wet pastel chalks to the various Rock songs.

Level 3 Complete Drawing

As with Watchful Eyes an acrylic glaze was applied between layers and pastel was applied wet on wet.
