This collage is an early work from my ‘Vauban’ themed series. As with recent artworks of a similar size (75 x 56 cms), I used cut-up sheets for the angular additions, but this time using a thickish red cartridge paper; the pieces individually coloured after measuring and cutting before being applied to a background sheet of Arches Platine cold-pressed paper previously coloured overall with Talens & Son ‘Rembrandt’ pastel crayons ranging from purples through reds to pinks and with dashes of yellow and black… all to give the impression of a raging inferno. Again, more or less two solid days of drawing, measuring, cutting and sticking went into completing this piece.
