The fourth & final example of drawings transcribed from an original newspaper photographic source of a birch forest, the subject as ever being the mark-making process itself, distinct from image content (which occurs as an eventual product of the process, working across the surface of the support), although on this occasion the greater variation between areas of dark & light tone aids also a more obvious figurative reading of the image in terms of depth & spatial recession.
Presenting also a composite of the complete panorama.

Soundtrack:
Love 'Forever Changes'
Joy Division 'Closer'
New Order 'Power, Corruption & Lies'
Echo & the Bunnymen 'Ocean Rain'
Jesus & Mary Chain 'Psychocandy'
This particular choice of accompanying music being that of the Times' ‘Seminal’ collection of free, token-collectable CDs, with which designation one can but only concur: its good to have back-up copies of such essential listening material, considering the enduring excellence of the albums in question themselves & the influence they’ve had (not least upon each other, or the former over the latter, rather, in the case of the string-swept aesthetic of ‘Forever Changes’ & ‘Ocean Rain’), individually & collectively, over much of the music to which I’m attracted, although this in general has branched out from the admittedly relatively narrow range these albums – works of art (each considered as a whole, including their visual packaging too, which in every instance seems perfectly appropriate) – cover in themselves.
