Four's (part of) a Crowd...(5)


graphite, putty eraser & watercolour/30x20cm
original source: 'The Guardian' 16/06/08

Continuing 'the project within The Project', transcribing discrete sections of an original large-scale newspaper photograph of a football crowd, again the drawing serves in the manner of synecdoche as part-for-the-whole, yet still the individual faces & their expressions - particularly as they generally run counter to the frivolous headgear being sported - provide compelling human detail...

Soundtrack:


Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds 'Best of', 'Abattoir Blues' & 'The Lyre of Orpheus'
Sol Seppy 'The Bells of 1 2'
Lambchop 'Aw, C'mon' & 'No, You C'mon'
