straight edges and squared paper

gone back to diagrams again but looking forward to having some more fun photographing them.

Like the contrast between selecting areas of composition for the photos and the page framing things for me in the actual diagrams. 
Using a Chinese account book that has lots of rip out pages I have been cutting them up and rearranging them. I see several abstract artists in my head when I make them. Not just Martin but Mondrian too. But, something different from Mondrian. Want to try to add some colour maybe this blue that I keep wanting to use.



Inbetween these works I went back to some hand drawn family tree like diagrams. Can't decide if I want to use serious colour in these or just to stick to greys and creams. Not sure.

sort of feel that I am constantly wobbling between the clinical humanless (but human - a contradition I know but bit like the photorealists in a way) and the fragile falable human line. Also, have same problem with colour - keep wanting to add riotus joyous colour but generally don't like the results - it doesn't have the inside of a church emptiness sort of feel that I want ... most of the time.
