_title: ripples
watercolour & ink; dark grey background with fine-lined ripples in black and mint green; a sphere hovers off-centre, home to the patchy silhouette of a bare tree; the bright ripples pass through the sphere from left to right and looping towards the bottom, unsettling the stability.
-
_title: caught up in the stir
watercolour & ink; dark grey scene with small tree in the centre, dark bark and green leaves, standing on a surface made of fine lines; light blue lines form 3 vertical swirls, ending in a horizontal wave, green and blue drops follow the dome of the swirl curves, moss-green patches at the bottom; backdrop shows shadow of the tree leaves and further swirls in muted blues and green.
-
_title: currents of change
water colour & ink; dark scene with steep fractal lined waves (rising and dipping twice, from left to right horizontally); a golden tree stands in the middle, its leaves being torn away, poisonous green cloud highlights to the left turn into ember glowing sparks and bird flocks on the right; at the bottom, there's a river-like texture with a glowing wave line from middle left, to lower right.
-
_title: uncertainty
water colour and ink; dark background with spiralling lines in soft yellow with large swoop at the top, intersected with smaller swirled lines, ending in a large curve from left centre to bottom centre; a pale-barked tree with rose-tinted leaves stands in the centre, top; below, plant-like shapes with tubes and root lines, highlights as specks random light.
-
_title: unsettled ground
watercolour & ink; multi-lined swirls showing waves, water drops running from left to right, following curves; middle shows yellow bright sparks, red ember glowing to the bottom left; a tree with leaves grows from the middle up, its roots in flames.
-
_title: windswept
watercolour & ink; muted pastel green background with tree in the middle, standing on patchy ground with purple leaf top; dark clouds are hovering over top left of tree, purple raindrops fall on the left, following an outer swirled curve; hills faded in the background, swirl lines surrounding the tree; flock of birds descending from tree centre.
-
_title: into the void
watercolour & ink; muted pastel purple background with bare tree standing on a floating patch of ground, roots exposed and dangling below; dark cloud patches in the background, bright flame-like lines swirling around the tree vertically.
-
_title: heat wave
water colour & ink; muted pale green with 'floating' ground patch, roots hanging off towards the bottom; a tree stands in the middle, surrounded by flame-like waves and sparks.
-
_title: autumn sweeps
water colour & ink; muted pale blue background with green floating patch of ground (with exposed roots dangling below) which carries a tree; the tree middle is curving towards the right, wavy branches seemingly bare; leaf patches are scattered randomly behind the tree, showing a multitude of autumn colours into purple; fine swirled curves surround and intersect the scene, drops fall in a curve on the left.
-
_title: bending heat
water colour & ink; muted slate green background showing a tree in distress: the ground appears half water, half solid in dark greys and blues; a bright pair of swerved curves made from fine lies flow from top to bottom, entrapping the tree. A dark poisonous cloud hangs at the top right- the tree curving with the tensions of the lines; leaves of the tree are merely in centre and fallen to the ground - fiery yellows and red indicating the igniting fire.
-
_title: swirls of time
water colour & ink; taupe muted background with a floating island of watery ground, dark clouds at the back. An old wide tree with wispy branches, seemingly waving in the air stands in the middle; bokeh-type light circles randomly scattered around the tree top; fine lined swirls intertwine with the tree.
-
_title: corrupted winds
watercolour & ink; dark blue muted background with a circular image, enclosed in a multi-lined textures frame of varying colour; a dark mauve landscape shows 3 muted green trees at the bottom, flocks of birds are feeling the scene; at the top, a tornado-like swirl seems to be drawing in the energies below, fine lined, bright green curved waves move from top bottom, a soft light beam colours the grey, dark sky yellow in places and results in a pink highlight between the trees.
-
_title: perpetrating changes
watercolour & ink; mirrored branches on diagonally split backgrounds; top half: green with leaves and waved lines, sweeping from the middle backwards towards top right; bottom half: grey with fiery highlight, sweeping forwards to right; a multiline wave goes through the visual in 2 large curves, starting large on the left, diminishing scale upwards and to the right.
-
_title: what comes to pass
watercolour, pencil & ink; slate blue background with dramatic curves, roots below and a ghost-like tree in the centre, swirls around the visual - tensions between air, earth, water and nature.
-
_title: turbulence
watercolour & ink; dark background with a circular image of a turbulent scene: water in the bottom half is upset by large yellow curves; a broken tree floats in flames, another tree still stands between the curved sweeps, branches reach into the scene from the right; bright sparks in the centre appear to spread.
_title: in flux
watercolour & ink; dark slate background with muted clouds behind a pale blue tree; the tree is bare and has fine feathery branches and wide spread roots standing in a pink swirled curve; silhouettes of trees disappear into the depth and purple trees extrude on the sides.
