610mm × 770mmThis is the second series of the Blind Forest project.
The artworks are created using fountain pen ink on paper, with each piece consisting of millions of individual dots. The process is meditative and repetitive, allowing for a deep connection between the artist and the medium. The resulting compositions are abstract and organic, evoking the textures and patterns found in nature.

Series 2, Number 7, 2023 – detailThere are several other artworks in this second series, some of which I wasn't happy with. I have included the two pieces I am most satisfied with here, and I invite you to imagine the feeling frustration one might have after punishing themselves for dozens of hours, only to discover the output of their pain is not satisfactory.
