Accidental Drawings
Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.
Louise Nevelson
I’m a big fan of found art and accidental drawings. I spotted these beauties in Stokes Croft, which is one of my favourite parts of Bristol for its sheer creative anarchy.

This door has been there for months. Originally painted with religious slogans, it’s slowly disintegrating to reveal its beautiful cardboard core.

Oh how I wish I’d made these delicate drawings in glue.

Thank you, Julie. I just took these on my camera phone because that’s all I had with me, I was surprised that they came out as well as they did.

“creative anarchy”, i like that.
this is an interesting find. maybe i should start looking for accidental drawings. i would not have guessed from the photos that this was the inner part of a door.

These ARE beautiful, perhaps they can be the inspiration for some less accidental drawings…
