graphite/30x20cm
original source: 'The Times' 10/03/08
The use of this source photographic image, retrieved from the archive, illustrating another example of our current 'big screen' culture in one of its many, almost unavoidable instances, seemed particularly appropriate in the context of the previously processed & posted drawing, again exploring issues of human scale in relation to representations in various media. And of course we're touching once more upon numerous levels of representation...
Soundtrack:
Spiritualized 'Pure Phase'
Rachel Unthank & the Winterset 'The Bairns'
Boards of Canada 'Music has the Right to Children'
Belle & Sebastian 'Fold Your Hands Child...' & 'The Life Pursuit'
What a pleasure it was & something of an appropriate coincidence, whilst this morning under the influence of medication, to experience again the narcotic delights of Spiritualized's 'Pure Phase', a most welcome reacquaintance with a wonderful album that ebbs & flows & swells & bursts with calm & noise, electric, electronic & acoustic: good, sweet medicine indeed.
A mention too for the equally compelling Boards of Canada album, still wonderful & capable of revealing new textures & depths, after all these years. Everybody now, start counting to sixtyten...
