This is one of my Big Wood drawings, these are large pictures of paper 640 x 900mm. In the past these drawings would be then taken in to fine print either etching or perspex engraving.
Looking at the piece, the reproduction is poor as the image is blacker with more depth in the 'gaps' between the branches. The black on some of the black has been too deep and become lost. It required the use of an eraser to cut into the pencil marks.
The main focus is meant to be on a part of the bush, where there is a circular black object with the branches stream out to make a connection with other limbs. Everything else is fenced the object or heart of the image. This is how the image finds its title or sometimes it can happen in reverse, where I have a title and want to illustrate it. The words of 'tangled heart' evokes a certain struggle or sense of entrapment. Why should it be entangled? What is the situation? It provokes a 'train' of thought.
