Ground Truth #51

A sheet of shapes laid down in watercolour, then surveyed as if they were real ground. One large form holds the page, sometimes so large that only its edge comes in from off the sheet, and smaller forms gather around it or keep their distance. Every form is painted as nested washes around a dark core, then measured: a survey network strung between the smallest marks, a centre line through the largest, rulers and callouts and, on most sheets, a title block lettered in a script nobody can read. Half the sheets slip, a band of the drawing sliding sideways out of true, and the paper itself is pressed, the shapes sunk into it like a print. All of it is SVG, drawn in my own framework.
