This particular drawing is, unusually, a composite, being processed from a combination of two newspaper source photographs, the original images juxtaposed across adjacent pages of the newspaper, where such an arrangement – with its significant changes of scale, of a human subject positioned beside an enlarged detail - suggested such a previously-mentioned example as the photograph of Chuck Close standing before one his large-scale monochrome photorealist ‘heads’ that in turn proved the catalyst & reference point for such drawings as ‘The Next Drawing’, ‘Scaling-Up’ & ‘Cinematic Scale’ as have occurred earlier in the course of this year’s Project.
