Sprokkelwoud
Another birthday card, another appearance for Gnook. This time he’s gathering dry wood in what seems a cold, windy and autumny forest. I am really enjoying this black and white line-and-raster feel, pitched as it feels between limitation (in being starkly black and white) and potential for atmosphere within those limits.
The title is a ‘cut-and-shut’ of the Dutch ’sprokkelhout’ (dry wood collected for making fires with) and ‘woud’ (which is Dutch for ‘wood’ or ‘forest’).
Anyway, another ‘happy birthday’.
