Abstract geology (2018) Original Mixed-media Painting by Louise Diggle

This heavily textured and collaged canvas arose originally from drawings of tree bark, but then took on a life of its own. As it progressed, it started to remind me of Jules Verne's Voyage au Centre de la Terre / Journey to the Centre of the Earth, which I read many moons ago. I didn't go and check but vaguely remember the book describing rocky formations, bare landscapes and lichen in Iceland. I therefore collaged part of the title page of a damaged copy of Verne's book (in French) in the top right of the canvas.
