Treeptych Series,

Fine liner, and graphite 

2023, ongoing

​​​

Hasoon's Treeptych Series is a collection of meticulously hand-drawn triptychs that focus on the intricate patterns found on tree bark.  Using fine liners and graphite, she explores the details that define the texture and character of trees, highlighting their life, growth, and ecological significance.

​

This series is an extension of Hasoon’s passion for line and mark-making, where the process itself becomes an immersive and meditative act.  Her approach is driven by a deep engagement with detail, an almost obsessive dedication that mirrors the complexities and layered structures found in nature; recognising that, in both art and nature, the true essence often lies in the intricacies and details. 

​

In the evolution of the Treeptych Series, Hasoon's affinity for the rule of thirds and odd numbers plays a pivotal role.  The name Treeptych merges ‘tree’ and ‘triptych,’ reflecting Hasoon’s use of three-panel compositions to create a sense of balance and structure.  Historically, triptychs have been used in art to present connected narratives across multiple panels.  In Hasoon's work, this format allows for multiple perspectives of the same subject, capturing its complexity through variations in texture, depth, and form.  By dividing the composition into three, she creates a dynamic visual rhythm that reinforces the themes of continuity and transformation, mirroring how we experience nature as a layered and evolving presence.

​

Each drawing in the series translates the intricate meanderings of tree bark into a visual language, forming a connection between the organic patterns of the natural world and the rhythms of human experience. The Treeptych Series is a meditation on time, perception, and the hidden structures that shape both trees and our understanding of them.
