Reflective Mood...

Today the opposite of tomato is a righteous piece of cheese

Continuing a theme of some of the recent drawings, with another slight variation, the original photograph from which this drawing was processed offered the opportunity to again explore the idea of different, numerous levels of representation & the interplay of, with a subject reflected in a mirror - &, partially, also in the mirrored frame of the photograph being handled (thus appearing thrice, in different views) - & another appearing in portrait form, both thus at another stage of ‘remove’. As with the previous example, interesting to note that eye contact is established with the viewer by the subject of the portrait, the picture within the picture.

Soundtrack:

Boards of Canada 'Geogaddi'
