The larger trees surrounding it were already bare, but this smaller tree seemed to be hanging on a little longer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerhaps it was sheltered by the trees around it. Or perhaps it was simply refusing to let go.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI drew the tree in black archival pigment ink before breaking the image across individual hand-cast cement tiles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe shape of the tiles loosely follows the tree itself. A long branch escapes to the left, while the trunk drops through the centre of the work. The drawing moves across gaps, edges and changing cement surfaces rather than sitting neatly within a rectangle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach tile was individually poured, dried and arranged in my studio in Birmingham before the drawing was made across the complete surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe natural greys and off-whites of the cement become part of the image. No two tiles have exactly the same tone or surface, giving the drawing a fragmented, slightly shifting quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is a one-of-a-kind original drawing and sculptural wall piece.
