“Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale”.
The appeal of this particular image as source material primarily resides in the angle from which the photograph is taken, one of those that seems specific to or to suggest obviously the presence of the camera in the production of either still or moving images. Again, the process of transcribing the range of tones, the progression from one to another as discrete areas across the surface of the page, proved entirely abstract in nature, the forms & subject matter gradually emerging as image content as the drawing resolved itself. The apparent resulting subject matter might be regarded as a still life, such is the composition of the component objects for all their animation by the associated human presence.
