hexenbesen # 2

By Rachel Gibson 2020
This series of charcoal and pastel drawings reflect my involvement with the natural world. Here I am trying to 'draw the impossible'. This chaotic growth, a witches' broom, can be seen decorating our winter trees. It is part of it's host but has a form and life of it's own. It is something inexplicable and eerie attached to the tree.
