The winter tree

By  Rachel Gibson 2008 - 2010

Rachel Gibson

The Winter Tree is an image in a state of transition. This drawing, made in charcoaled wood found in a burnt, derelict house explores over the life time of the work the notion of the progression of one state of being to another. In this synthesis of material and process, like the act of drawing itself, there is a sense both of fragility and risk.
