Sketchbook studies
I have recently been looking at the work of Samuel Palmer and was inspired to create these sketches to try out a simple but stylised way of working.
Israfel 1
"If I could dwell
Where Israfel
Hath dwelt, and he where I,
He might not sing so wildly well
A mortal melody,
While a bolder note than this might swell
From my lyre within the sky."
Where Israfel
Hath dwelt, and he where I,
He might not sing so wildly well
A mortal melody,
While a bolder note than this might swell
From my lyre within the sky."
'Israfel' - Edgar Allen Poe
An all to rare foray into sculpture, I tried to depict Israfel's failure in being able to sing having known a mortal life.
