Overlaid across part of the tree is a stark black rectangle, creating a visual interruption that changes the way the landscape is seen. Within this section, the leaves and sky are inverted, turning the familiar relationship between light and dark on its head.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI wanted to play with the contrast between the natural world and something more graphic and abstract, bringing together the organic forms of the tree with the sharp edges of the geometric shape. The result sits somewhere between a landscape drawing and an experimental study of tone, perception and contrast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBehind the Drawing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated by hand using charcoal on paper, this original artwork explores the expressive possibilities of working in black and white.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe loose, windswept forms of the tree contrast with the solid black rectangle and the inverted tonal details within it.
