"Knock on the sky and listen to the sound" - digital painting
One of my first tutors at Glasgow School of Art offered the following advise : "start from something organic".
We were doing preliminary drawings for sculpture. Even now when I work in digital painting his words still echo in the back of my mind.
In the case of "Knock on the sky and listen to the sound" -Zen saying -the original was a rose I had grown in my garden. Mashing it in the computer produces something equally beautiful yet hints at the uncertainty of the new digital age we are moving into.
