Tim Knowles, Larch and Oak interpretations

Tim Knowles

“The drawings are produced by trees attached with sketching pens to their branches. The drawing board instead placed in such a way that the trees’ natural motions, as well as their moments of stillness, are recorded. Like signatures, each drawing reveals the different qualities and characteristics of each tree.”

A series of drawings produced using drawing implements attached to the tips of tree branches, the wind’s effects on the tree, recorded on paper.  Like signatures each drawing reveals the different qualities and characteristics of each tree.

“Nightwalks are a series of illuminated walks that Tim Knowles created in the countryside during a new moon. Over the period of an hour, the artist walked away from the camera while carrying three wide-beam torches. His path, along a precarious rocky ridge in the darkness, was illuminated and captured using a long-exposure, large-format photograph. The image invokes Plato’s allegory of the cave, appearing like a pathway of ghostly travellers shining inside an electrified landscape.”
