Procession of Forms by Lindsay John

Procession of Forms is a series of 5 works presently in the making each carved from a single strip of high quality Welsh Slate recycled from the bed of a Snooker table. Combining techniques of fretwork and relief carving the entire series should take approximately three years to complete from the time of inception.

As a whole, I wish these works to be viewed as Objects of Contemplation acting as a catalyst directly stimulating the mind and imagination of the spectator according to their own experience and perception of life.

The INKBOT SERIES is a group of 32 jocular works originally drawn in rapid succession with black Indian Ink on glossy paper, each in turn pressed with paper before the ink was dry to achieve the characteristic and unpredictable ‘blotted’ look desired.

To retain original spontaneity, each drawing was rendered into a Lazertran transfer print and finally applied onto a background of mixed media and Gesso on board – media individually selected to enhance each drawing from among Acrylic colour, gold leaf, indian iIk, silverpoint or pencil drawing, newsprint or brown and coloured cut papers.
