Poimintoja – Poimintoja

The Finnish word ”poimia” means picking or collecting. The original sketch is a part of my sketchbook made for the Brooklyn Art Library’s Sketchbook Project. It is the world’s largest collection of artists’ and designers’ sketchbooks. The sketch was made intuitively, my only goal at the time was to fill the sketchbook with different kinds of colors, surfaces, and technique tests. First I painted papers and then cut out shapes of flowers and leaves that I arranged and glued on the sketchbook. There were only a few rows but I could see a rhythm forming for repetition. The final pattern is finished on a computer. I wanted to make a vector version with a texture on the surface of the elements since I liked the uneven feel of the painted sketch. Depending on the colors of the pattern, on a small scale, the texture can be just a blending detail, or on a bigger scale, more rough and visible.
