Thank you. I didn't think Vija Celmins consciously. But it must be back there in my mind. Recently saw Yayoi Kusama show ate Tate Modern, which was a conscious influence. Somehow the fact that she was Donald Judd's lover came through strongly.
This drawing has been sitting in the back of my mind ever since you posted it. It is so bizarre and stunning. The colors remind me of an old botanical illustration.
Thanks, Sara. The feedback is much appreciated. Some of my favorite science fiction stories deal with far-future worlds where plants have mutated into quasi-sentient life, e.g, Hothouse by Brian Aldiss. I'm glad if any of that weirdness is getting across.
Ah I just meant the technique you used. Did you draw it by hand? I was trying to think about how to make this since I know some of the applets have shape tools but others don't. Maybe different textures applied to brushes but the lines are so clean it makes me think not. Anyways, that's what I meant.
