The Starling - Ink and tea on bockingford watercolour paper
I have been studying plant forms and integrating these into the abstract lines in each piece. The Starling looks at patterns in nature and meditates on the theme of a collective conscience, In the piece I have attempted to pair beauty of the individual with the collective beauty of a murmuration - the work looks at the importance, beauty and collective strength derived from companionship.- Carne Griffiths

About Carne Griffiths
Working primarily with calligraphy inks, graphite and liquids, such as tea, brandy and vodka Griffiths’ fascination with drawing focuses on the creation and manipulation of the drawn line. Images explore human, geometric and floral forms, in a combination of both literal and abstract translation and in response to images and situations encountered in daily life. Images are recorded in a dreamlike sense onto the page where physical boundaries are unimportant. His work creates a journey of escapism which focuses on scenes of awe and wonder, projecting a sense of abandonment and inviting the viewer to share and explore this inner realm. You can find more of his works on his Behance profile or website.
