Hard To Find Early Green, Bare Bones Trial Pack [Lq51Trob]

Near the base of the Prison Ship Martyrs’ Monument in Fort Greene Park, a group of massive oaks stood in full light. Their leaves had only just begun to emerge, leaving the full architecture of the trees on display—towering trunks, complex branches, lines rising and folding. I watched for a while. Then drew fast.

This is a drawing made in lines and silence. The brush follows what was there—not just the trees, but the space they made. No color, no background—just the structure of the living form before it disappears into summer.

A Gesture Toward Form
Part of the Three Paper Project, this drawing was completed on-site in a single sitting, with no revisions. The piece doesn’t aim for completeness. It’s an act of attention. Of choosing what to keep and what to let go.

For Spaces That Want Stillness
Spare, composed, and full of breath, this piece brings a sense of pause. It’s made for rooms that want quiet. A moment held between winter and bloom, between line and gesture.
