Micheal Landy

 I have watched a DVD on Micheal Landy form collage, and it has a lot of information about his older work eg.  Closing down sale,Scrapheap services and Breakdown, but hes latest work Nourishment relates very well to my work. His show Nourishment was a solo show in late 2002, the exhibition consisted of a series of detailed etchings of weeds, rendered in the traditional style of botanical draftsmanship. Here are a few examples.

Creeping Buttercup

 Many people might call them hideous eye soars or evidence of  an unkempt garden, but these creeping weeds can survive the harshest of conditions and can be impossible to get rid of, and people put so much time and money destroying them. Landys analytical studies and intricate renderings of these weeds become so much more than ugly weeds, they are truly beautiful and capture a delicate side to these tough and relentless weeds.

These drawings of mine are inspired by Micheal Landy.
