Description

Everything we do in drawing is done with love. Thus, we need empathy with what we see and with what is happening on the drawing sheet.
This time we want to turn to ferns. Already Leonardo da Vinci used ferns in his works as forms which he also used to create clouds and water. He developed these motifs from spirals. Spirals also often appear in the works of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. He was inspired by ferns in New Zealand. Besides the kiwi bird and the kiwi fruit, the silver fern is one of the most famous symbols of New Zealand. Ferns have great significance in mythology and folklore. They’re mysterious plants associated with elves; it’s said that ferns lead to the elves.
