Inspiration from Paul Klee - "renders visible"

Now having finished the job of producing a basic range of products, putting them online and setting up my business, I can get back to the things I enjoy..... creating and experimenting. And I'm overflowing with ideas. Luckily I have the deadline of Bear Flat Artists in May to produce a small body of new work. But for now, it is back to basics, using my recent sketchbooks to investigate ways of transferring those ideas into textile artworks. 

This picture by Paul Klee - Construction based on variations 1927 got me in the flow. It inspires me with its simplification and abstraction of a landscape. He illustrates this in his essay (Thoughts on drawing and art in general), when saying "Art does not reproduce the visible; it renders visible".

My experimental piece uses single yarn and french knitted yarn on felt to reproduce Klee's thick and thin lines. As usual, I use  yarns from Harris Tweed production which show the beautiful blended colours when photographed close up.
