24 and they're gonna keep comin'!!


Weeping Willow tree drawing-- Tim Knowles
2006 ink on paper on panel

alright, so Knowles is a kooky guy. i refer to him as the mad scientist artist whenever i think about him. he focuses on movement creating an image. i really like his stuff, not because of what a tree can draw, but because of the process that he takes to get his end results. he feels that the process of his work is just as important as the work itself and makes sure to include that process in his gallery shows, whether it is with a video or with the actual apparatus that he set up. i'm going to make sure to chronicle my processes with my paper making and sculpture building so that people will know what i did to get from 'a' to 'z'. i think that knowing how much time and effort is put into a piece is just as important as the work of art itself.
