Nivose
French Republican Calendar, series 1, 4/13. Pencil on paper. 2012. 29.5 cm x 41.5 cm. As stated earlier, the aim was to produce completed works that didn't take too long; and frankly in some it shows more than in others. The leaves in the surround were drawn from life, from leaves collected on dog walks, the revolutionary iconography and the main images were simply sourced from the internet. The star patterns, reflective of the month's signature constellation were simply adapted from a standard astronomy guidebook.
