Sequoia Directive | 71 Images
A selection of compositional sketches and drawings gathered as a personal project to hike and draw in as many of the sequoia groves in the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada that I could reach, done between 1980 and 1986. I eventually accumulated 1,000's of sketches and learned some sense of composition in the process--and still fondly recall wandering to these quiet, often little visited places, sleeping night to night in a new grove watching the great trees catch the last day's light and the first light of the next. Perhaps also, I came to feel familiar with some surviving essence of a grand Mesozoic carried into the present.
