I’ve been making some preliminary studies derived from horizon lines.
The most obvious thing about Bwlch y Ddeufaen is its’ bleakness: peaty moorland, rocks, no trees to speak of. The next most obvious things are the electricity pylons. Two rows of massive, ungainly pylons.
It would be dishonest to ignore them, but it’s going to be difficult to resolve the tension between industrial straight lines and the more gestural marks derived from the horizon. And, as it’s a map, it might need a grid of its own.
