TINCHI TAMBA No6
Aware that I was unthinkingly keeping to a fixed distance from the bush I was riding one afternoon with my youngest when confronted by the light( its nearly always the light) on this tree trunk. The idea of masking and airbrushing occurred instantly, but I needed to explore its potential in Tinchi Tamba No5 first. There is a directness and balance between "mark making" and "image making" here, that I find intriguing. There is a tension between "is it a mark or is it a tree?" and that tension provides the atmosphere of apprehension.
