About this work
Open Ground, After Rain continues Field Note's studio language of charcoal dust behaving almost like weather. The work balances structure with drift, using graphite, charcoal, and chalk on paper to hold onto process, pressure, and small changes in tone.

About the artist
Field Note
Fort Worth, TX
Rowan Ellis draws under the moniker Field Note, creating measured graphite works that sit between landscape study and notation. Ellis often begins outside with small observational sketches, then enlarges them in the studio until line, smudge, and erasure become a weather system of their own.
Artist statement
Drawing is where I can think at the speed of looking. The finished works keep that searching quality instead of trying to smooth it away.
