Tim Knowles is an artist who takes the control out of his drawings by allowing other items or objects r sometimes sporadic movements, do the drawings for him.  Here are examples of his tree drawing pieces where he ties pens onto the branches of different types of tree, in different places of the world, at different times, therefore creating various different textural movement drawings, depending on weather and the type of tree as variables.
