About the Item
In his hyperrealist drawing, "Paper Wasp Series No. 2," David Morrison uses colored pencil to render, in overwhelming detail, an abandoned wasp nest. He creates a poetic juxtaposition between the loose unraveling of the nest's form, and the tight, fibrous network of its material. The visibility and clarity of the nest's cells points back to the immense number of creatures that once called this structure their home.
Artist David Morrison creates hyperrealistic, finely detailed pencil drawings of found natural objects, both by observing the object itself under magnification, and also by working from a photograph, required by the closeness of each object to its point of natural disintegration. The drawings recall botanical illustrations of the nineteenth century, but differ as the historic images captured nature in a pristine, idealized condition. This work is a unique drawing in colored pencil, signed at bottom right by the artist.
