Cinematic Scale


graphite & putty eraser/20x30cm
original source: 'The Guardian' 09/06/08

Another original newspaper photograph offering the opportunity to indulge in further levels of reproduction & representation through the drawing process, courtesy of the cinema poster serving as the background to the main subject of the image, & to also once more explore issues of scale, with the significant disparity on show. There's also a pleasing pictorial dynamic between the opposite directions in which each pair of eyes are looking.

Soundtrack:


Lambchop 'Aw C'mon'/'No, You C'mon'
Tunng 'Good Arrows'
Sparklehorse 'It's a Wonderful Life'
Portishead 'Dummy'
Cat Power 'The Greatest'
Wire 'A Bell is a Cup Until it is Struck'
PJ Harvey 'Is This Desire?'
Boards of Canada 'Geogaddi'
