Still 'Tyred-Out'...


graphite, putty eraser & pasted paper/30x20cm

Continuing the aluminium can 'roadkill' & double black lines series of drawings, this example - again a composite image processed from a photographic original of the roadside & a photocopy of the found discarded object - employs strips of torn paper to create its linear element, the lines of the tears being similar to the uneven edges of the painted & overpainted road markings. This obviously gives to the drawing an element of slightly three-dimensional texture which in turn creates a dialogue with the drawn texture of the tarmacked road surface & also the objects of flattened can & cigarette.

Soundtrack:


Lambchop 'Is a Woman' & 'OH (Ohio)'
Mazzy Star 'So Tonight That I Might See'
Laura Veirs 'Years of Meteors'
