configuration  of micro climates

The idea of microclimates gets formed by an assemblage of entities like soil, wetness, built form and foliage configuration. But is shaped by demography, practices, social norms, events in time and upcoming needs. The drawing tries to engage with the spatial affordances of each entity and its inhabitants. Each entity has its realm of being, meaning some entities are hard and consolidated, some are reminiscent of a time lost, some are ephemeral, some change through cycles, and some are not static. How does one trace their specificity? This is a challenge of drawing with lines and canvas.

 Here the method was to give meaning to each line by the drawn-out entity and doing so by line intensities, breaking of line into dots and colours. 

Following the method, clusters of built from which seem to be hard and permanent are a single continuous line, but the verandah type breaks the hardness making it porous is red . Constantly shifting shade and movement of foliage is multiple dots trying to get a shape. Lost tree cover in different events of time remains as a faint figment of memory is green. This encapsulates the environment, habitations and life of chellanam.
