On a clear morning in Fort Greene Park, I let go of my usual habit of focusing on a single tree or flower. Instead, I tried to see—and draw—the landscape as it really was: a tangle of trees and bushes, large trunks and delicate branches, careful plantings, and unruly growth. Nature and cultivation in quiet tension.
Brush, ink, and watercolor move quickly here, mirroring the complexity of the moment. The drawing doesn’t simplify; it embraces disorder. It's about being comfortable with not making sense of everything—letting the park feel wilder than it really is.
An Exploration in Complexity
Part of my ongoing Three Paper Project, each drawing is made in a single sitting, with no corrections. Here, the goal was not clarity but honesty. A celebration of complexity, movement, and the quiet surprise of seeing the familiar anew.
