Drawings

Details from red shield

Drawings I have done of patterns and details in the Sutton Hoo finds. I have experimented with different medias to see how well different drawing utensils capture the intricacy and the free flowing lines of the treasures. I have mainly focused on the details of shapes rather the whole object as I'm more drawn to the impressions of such details. I have built up a collection of drawings which I can later experiment with and transform into prints.

 Many of my drawings are from the same finds, such as the large red shield, as there is so much design in one objects its difficult to capture many of the elements all in one study.
